Human Services

United States of America

A human services (also known as social services) nonprofit is any non-profit organization that serves people with their projects and programs. This can be anything from group homes for people with substance abuse problems to foster care agencies. Most organizations are either funded by or affiliated with (through referrals, for example) with local, state and national government human services agencies. Human Services charities provide networks of direct services to people in need. They feed our hungry, strengthen our communities, shelter our homeless, care for our elderly, and nurture our young. Human services is a broad sector that includes a broad range of disciplines, knowledge, and skills focused on enhancing human well-being, both individually and collectively.
