“Worst organization on the planet! Uninspiring youth programs, horrible staff. Very unprofessional. Don't believe the hype on their website. Stay away!!!”
Mike HudsonVerified ReviewerGoogle“The training was a major waste of my time. The student was 'strongly encouraged' to sign up for mentoring, even though she did not feel she needed it. I was put on a list and never heard back.”
Analisa P.Verified ReviewerYelp“The woman coordinating the program was incredibly rude, bossy and hostile, not only to the volunteers but even to the students. Their volunteer training was a joke, five sessions, a complete waste of time.”

Is Cambridge Community Services licensed and insured?
moveBuddha holds no federal licensing record for Cambridge Community Services in Cambridge, MA. That is not the same as the company being unlicensed. Movers operating only within one state are licensed by that state rather than by the FMCSA.
Insurance is a separate question, and one this profile cannot settle: moveBuddha does not receive carriers' insurance filings, so nothing here confirms what cover Cambridge Community Services holds. Ask for a certificate of insurance before you book.

Helpful Massachusetts moving resources
How we score moving companies
Every mover on moveBuddha is scored on the same six factors, weighted by how much each one changes a move.
- Quotes & payment optionsWeighs most
The heaviest factor, because price certainty is where moves go wrong. We reward estimates you can hold a mover to, and terms disclosed before you pay.
- Online reputationMajor factor
An objective read from third parties rather than from the mover. The Google rating for the company's headquarters sets the band; Trustpilot, BBB, and independent review sites are read alongside it.
- ServicesMajor factor
The range a mover can actually cover, scored across seven categories, with extra credit for the uncommon ones most companies hand off to a subcontractor.
- Customer supportSupporting factor
How easily you can reach a human, and how clearly the mover sets expectations before, during, and after the move. Verified against company documentation and direct outreach.
- Review feedbackSupporting factor
A company's share of positive customer feedback, converted straight to points, with no curve and no editorial adjustment.
- State availabilityMinor factor
The lightest factor, and deliberately so: wide coverage helps more readers reach a mover, but it says nothing about how good the move will be.
