Catholic Charities is the largest private social service organization in the Washington, D.C. area. Our mission is to strengthen the lives of those in need by giving help that empowers and hope that lasts. Catholic Charities has a long history that brings together four outstanding social service agencies with deep roots in the community: Catholic Charities, Anchor Mental Health, the Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Institute for people with developmental disabilities, and the Spanish Catholic Center.
Catholic Charities goes where the need is, reaching deep into the communities we serve to bring help for today and hope for the future to the most vulnerable among us. Clients receive services at 88 locations throughout the District of Columbia and five Maryland counties. Our approach to every situation is the same. We focus on prevention where possible, intervention when needed and advocacy when resources or opportunities are either inadequate or unfair. In all our work, we share the teaching of the Gospel and serve as a voice for those who can’t be heard. And we’re continually looking for ways to improve and innovate the way we deliver services. All of our programs meet the strict standards set by local licensing and regulatory agencies, and many programs are further accredited by such internationally recognized organizations as the Council on Accreditation and the Council On Quality and Leadership. These designations recognize our commitment to developing best practices and serving as thought leaders in our field.
Catholic Charities does not unlawfully discriminate against any person on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or sexual orientation. We welcome and encourage diversity in the workplace.
