Welcome to the South Boston Neighborhood House!

South Boston Neighborhood House will celebrate 125 years of service in 2026! From our start in 1901 to today, "The Ollie" has been a home for community, connection, and support for generations of South Boston families.

Our mission, “to support family and neighborhood life in South Boston”, means we have something for everyone! As a settlement house, we look to meet the needs of the community and offer programs for all: infants, children, teens, families, and older adults.

South Boston Neighborhood House is the oldest continuously operating community-based non-profit in South Boston, and we can’t wait to celebrate this incredible milestone with YOU!

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing stories, photos, and memories from the past 125 years leading up to our big celebration year. Stay tuned, join the countdown, and help us honor our history of supporting family and neighborhood life in South Boston!
