Company Description:

The Home for Little Wanderers is a nationally renowned, private, non-profit child and family service agency providing services to more than 10,000 children and families each year through over 30 programs that are measurably changing lives. The mission of The Home is to ensure the healthy development of children at risk, their families and communities through an integrated system of prevention, advocacy, research and a continuum of direct services. With a history dating back to 1799, The Home for Little Wanderers is one of the oldest child welfare agencies in the nation, and the largest in New England.

The Home's mission of ensuring the healthy development of children at risk, their families and communities clearly reflects its commitment to making a difference to children so that they can grow to be effective and contributing members of the community. In addition, the mission recognizes that children, to experience healthy growth, depend upon an environment that nurtures them, most specifically their families and the communities in which they live. The Home will carry out this mission through an integrated system of prevention, advocacy, research, and a continuum of direct services.

The Home's vision for the future is a world in which children will be central and valued. Well-funded services for children will effectively meet the systemic needs of children and their families and communities. High intensity services for children, when needed, will also be appropriately funded and will be of the finest quality. However, fewer children will be in need of such services because of the effectiveness of early intervention, prevention, and awareness programs.

We envision a future when The Home, because of its national reputation and stature, will be a leader in children's services. By attracting and retaining a pool of talented, diverse staff and volunteers, by developing an array of collaborations with public and private organizations, and by creating a work environment of continuous learning, The Home will be able to ensure the most effective services for children. Its services will span the continuum of prevention, direct care, research, and advocacy, all aimed at ensuring that children have the best possible opportunity to succeed.
