History
In 1916, a UW student wrote an undergraduate thesis proposing the creation of Neighborhood House to meet the needs of the growing Greenbush community. 100+ years later, Neighborhood House upholds the tradition of being a welcoming space for people of all backgrounds and strives to create opportunities for the greater Madison area.
