Northwestern University Settlement Overview
Mission:
Northwestern University Settlement was founded in January 1891 by leaders of Northwestern University as a separate and financially independent institution. It has been at its current location since 1901. Through more than 70 different programs, our staff and volunteers serve up to 8,000 neighbors each year through core programming and 40,000 through the award winning Adventure Stage Chicago.Programs are interwoven to provide a continuum of services and opportunities to the families who live in the community. The Settlement provides resources to our neighbors in three key areas: assistance for the immediate short-term crisis; knowledge, opportunities, and support to break out of poverty over the long-term; and access to a network of additional programs and services.
