Since 1906

Our Story...

In the belief that more could be done to improve the quality of neighborhood life by working together, the Federation of Neighborhood Centers was formed in 1906 as a voluntary, nonprofit association by Philadelphia's settlement house community. For more than 100 years, these neighborhood centers have been critical to the wellbeing of inner city children, youth, adults, seniors and families.

The lives of more than 25,000 people in 45 neighborhodds were bettered by receiving much needed social and educational services in 2011. Over the years, the centers have helped thousands of families find and keep homes, learn English, be trained to gain and keep employment, enhance children's educational achievement, recognize and encourage many exceptional young people, and work towards having safer and more nuturing environments for all their fellow neighbors.

Through the Federation's support and fostering of collaboration, much has been accomplished in building and rebuilding safer, healthier neighborhoods where families have a better chance at flourishing. This is the Federation's mission.
