George Courtright Greener (1884-1962) was the director of the North Bennet Street Industrial School, a trade school and settlement house in Boston's North End. A graduate of Ohio State University (1907), Greener worked as a ceramic engineer for the Salem Brick Company before joining the staff of NBSIS, where he initially taught clay modeling, in 1909. He soon became director and was instrumental in adopting school programs to meet changing needs: instituting paid training programs during the Great Depression, trade classes for veterans and disabled people, day camps for children, and the Social Service Credit Union, the first credit union ever established by a social service agency. Greener retired in 1953.
