Friends Neighborhood Guild, Inc
Friends Neighborhood Guild, Inc. is a Quaker-founded settlement house and neighborhood center located in North Philadelphia, serving the community for over a century. Established in 1879, the Guild has played a vital role in addressing urban issues by providing educational opportunities and acting as a broker for social interactions across diverse ethnic and class lines.
The organization originally focused on assisting immigrants and children working on the waterfront, evolving its services to include vocational training, recreation, and health services as community needs grew. By adapting to the changing demographics of the area, the Guild has effectively supported various populations, including European immigrants, African Americans, and Puerto Ricans, fostering better racial and ethnic relations within the community.
