Hudson Guild was founded in 1895 in Chelsea, Manhattan by Dr. John Lovejoy Elliott. Dr. Elliott was inspired by the settlement house movement and wanted to create a community center that would cater to the diverse needs of Chelsea residents. Hudson Guild has been at the forefront of providing educational programs, mental health services, and arts initiatives. By catering to both children and adults, the organization has been instrumental in strengthening intergenerational bonds.
