South End House

The South End House, located at 48 Rutland Street, is a historic building in the South End and after extensive renovations has become home to USES youth programs including our Pre-School, After School and, the Summer Day program.

Next door is USES’ Children’s Art Centre which offers art classes and projects for children attending programs in South End House.

The South End House was the central focus of a major fundraising effort, the Campaign for a Second Century. Renovations completed in 2000, turned what was a decaying and barely useable building into a hub for USES and the neighborhood. The Children's Friend Society built the building at 48 Rutland Street in 1840 as a home for orphaned children. USES’ connection to that site began in the early 1900s. A wide variety of settlement house programs and services have operated out of the facility since that time. With a philanthropic infusion of over $2 million in the form of capital support, today, “48,” as we fondly call it, is fully inhabited, bursting with children of all ages and alive with activity from morning to night

South End House also served as the headquarters and South End program offices for another important youth serving agency, The Center for Teen Empowerment.
