Narrative

Established in 1971 as a small farm worker organization, New England Farm Workers' Council (NEFWC) has become a multi-faceted human services agency dedicated to improving the quality of life for those in the community.  In addition to serving migrant and seasonal farm workers and their families, NEFWC also provides assistance to youth enrolled in the MA Department of Youth Services.

NEFWC programs emphasize employment skills training and education coupled with necessary support as the only sure means out of poverty and social dependency.
