Overview
The Community Action Agency of Somerville, known as CAAS, is changing lives for our community members who are furthest from opportunity. For over 40 years, we have been helping local families and individuals achieve financial security while working to eliminate the root causes of economic injustice. Our largest offering, Head Start, is a free preschool program that promotes school readiness. We offer comprehensive developmental preschool and wraparound services to ~275 low-income, culturally diverse children and their families each year in Somerville and Cambridge. Our six centers are fully open for in-person learning. Our Head Start program is integrated with our Housing Advocacy, Tenant Organizing, and Income Maximization programs to provide a full suite of anti-poverty services. We are proud to be a source of stability and support for our community.
What Makes Us Unique
We have a highly dedicated, seasoned team and an organizational structure that allows us to support our clients holistically. The Head Start Leadership team is highly collaborative and includes leaders with expertise in family engagement, health and nutrition, disabilities, and teaching and learning. We have a generous budget for professional development and a mindset of saying “yes” to whatever will help us better serve low-income children and families of Somerville and Cambridge. The person who joins our team will interact with a supportive director, peer leaders, and a committed group of coordinators and educators with a shared mission.
