The Home for Little Wanderers

The Home for Little Wanderers provides a seamless continuum of vital programs and services for every stage of child and family development. For more than 200 years, we?ve earned a reputation for doing whatever it takes to strengthen vulnerable families and keep children safe in their own communities, even when they don?t have family support. Serving children and youth from birth to 22, The Home makes a positive impact on over 7,000 lives each year through a network of services including behavioral health, therapeutic residential and special education, adoption and foster care. In addition, a number of innovative programs provide specialized assistance to youth transitioning to adulthood from state systems of care. We continuously measure the impact of our work to develop and enhance our programs. We never give up on children. And we don?t let children give up on themselves. Mission:?Our mission is to ensure the healthy behavioral, emotional, social and educational development and physical well-being of children and families living in at-risk circumstances.
