After-School

Programs for school-aged youth have been integral to the settlement house movement, and USES has offered an After-School Program at 48 Rutland Street for over 30 years, providing continuous service and support for parents who work or attend school or training. The After-School Program offers structured, thematic children’s activities for four hours on school days, and 10 hours during school vacations. The majority of program participants are African-American, and many are Latino and African immigrant children.

Artful Transformations Program

The Artful Transformations Program serves young people by facilitating an engagement with the arts as an incentive toward health and hope for a positive future. The young people in this program may have already crossed the line into social, academic or legal difficulties. These youth and their families live in the Greater Boston area and struggle with challenges born of poverty, displacement, language barriers and public health concerns. The program helps young people be successful in all areas of their lives through skill-building in the arts, art-making, performance, and exhibition of their work.

Cultural activity has long played a critical role in the lives of our participants and the South End/Lower Roxbury neighborhood. USES’ Children’s Art Centre (CAC) has been a prominent player in that tradition for many years. Set in a beautiful South End courtyard, with floor-to-ceiling French doors spanning its entire length, the CAC is an inspirational site. Incorporated in 1914 by South End House Settlement, the CAC was the first public fine arts museum designed exclusively for children. Over the years, the CAC became a neighborhood landmark and for many years, it has brought fine arts and cultural enrichment to children and families in the community regardless of race, ethnic background, or ability to pay.
