One of the most comprehensive non-profit providers of social services in Massachusetts, we offer over 70 programs across more than 20 locations throughout Greater Boston, with 450 employees serving thousands of individuals and families annually within the four core areas of Basic Needs, Family & Youth Services, Refugee & Immigrant Services, and Adult Education & Workforce Development. ​​

Rooted in our faith mission, we address critical social justice issues with compassion and aim to break the cycles of poverty in our communities.

Catholic Charities' Teen Center serves 300 adolescents aged 12-19 in grades 7-12 living in Dorchester's Bowdoin-Geneva neighborhood after school hours and throughout the summer months. The staff, programs, and activities aim to increase teens' self-esteem while providing the tools needed for academic and personal growth as well as their success in the community.
