HELLO, WE'RE COMMUNITY WORK SERVICES

Community Work Services was founded in 1877 as the Cooperative Society of Visitors Among the Poor of Boston to provide services to the poor in Boston and address the roots of poverty through employment, education, and housing improvements. Our founder, Annie Fields, was a transitional figure in the development of a professional social-service network by applying business principles and efficiency to benevolent activities and charity work. Today, our mission is to help people who face employment barriers to obtain work and achieve self-sufficiency through innovative job training, placement, and support services.

Our services are only as effective as the quality of the people who make up our team. To achieve our mission, we strive to attract and retain talented and committed staff who believe in our cause. This is why we provide competitive compensation, great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for personal and professional growth.
