Community work in western countries The development history of western community work can be roughly divided into 4 periods:

Period of charity organization (1870 ~ 1917). Cooperate with charity groups and relief agencies for urban neighborhoods, etc., to solve community problems through cooperation.

Period of community foundation, community committee and federation (1917 ~ 1935).

However, the transfer of basic responsibilities is only the beginning. Volunteer groups and individuals working with professional government staff are still mainly responsible.

The township covenants that have been passed down through the ages have spontaneously organized enlightenment, combined with political and economic conditions to promote the welfare of the community and improve morality. Its content and practices are similar to the requirements of modern community development and community service. Since the birth of the Communist Party of China in 1921, and especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the party and government have taken the responsibility of "serving the people" and relying on grassroots organizations to do a lot of community work. In the early 1950s, the specific tasks of community work were mainly responsible by residents committees and village committees. Residents 'committees and villagers' committees are mass and autonomous social grassroots organizations.

A graphic centered on a person or tree. When they are three people, they represent a typical family structure in China and the basic idea of "people-oriented and serve the community." As a tree, three trees become a forest, which means that the community workers converge into a forest and serve the community.
