The welfare centers in the society are among the most
dynamic social institutions in the world. Community centers keep people in the
center of development, as they have a commitment to regional intervention. To
do this, governments provide an institutional link between people and the
various private stakeholder coalitions that make up their communities.
Community centers also participate in a wide range of social change activities,
including advocacy with and on behalf of the community to reform basic social,
political and economic conditions.

In the world, social workers serve as primary
professional leaders of an effective community centers movement. In the
literature review, few studies have been found which examine the relations
between social services and social Works with respect to the countries. Data
Collection Technique of Research; in order to be used in this study, a
literature review on the subject was made, and books, theses, articles, and
other resources were scanned. Generally to applied theoretical research and
evaluation method to be used. In addition, collecting documents from texts,
