COMPASS

Since 1974, COMPASS’ programs and services have evolved in nature and location in response to changing needs of its clientele. The organization’s first services were special education, outreach and tracking, and foster care in the Greater Boston area. As the reputation of COMPASS’ successes and expertise began to grow, it started to have a wider base for referrals outside of Greater Boston and into Central and Northern Massachusetts. Today, COMPASS has established itself as one of Massachusetts’ leading providers of special education and human services for youth and families in need. It specializes in providing services to at-risk populations that includes comprehensive and individualized education, stabilization, transition, counseling, support, and enrichment services.
