Community welfare centers are among the most dynamic social institutions worldwide. Through their commitment to locality-based intervention, community centers keep people at the center of development. In doing so, they provide an institutional link between governments, people, and various coalitions of private stakeholders that make up the communities in which they are located. Community centers also engage in a broad range of social change activities, including advocacy with and on behalf of the community for reform of the underlying social, political, and economic conditions that undermine human dignity. Throughout the world, social workers serve as the primary professional leaders of a highly effective community centers movement
