Greater New Bedford Fishermen’s Family Assistance Center 

The Greater New Bedford Fishermen’s Family Assistance Center is a satellite of the Greater New Bedford Career Center system. The center operates under a special grant from the U.S. Department of Labor, administered by the Commonwealth Corporation.

The Mission of the center is to engage in partnerships with eligible individuals from the fishing industry for purposes of developing effective multifaceted job search and training strategies which would lead to new and satisfying long-term employment.

The center was established in 1994 to serve individuals and their families in the fishing industry in an effort to reduce the long-term economic stress caused by declining fish stocks and restrictive management policies. Our experienced staff is ready to serve you.
