Today, youth from The Home's Harrington House embark on their annual outing to Six Flags New England for an exhilarating day of rides, yummy theme park treats and memory-making! These annual daytrips are more than just a day at the theme park. In our latest blog, Program Director Kapr Bangura and Permanency & Activities Coordinator Rachel Morford share how these excursions enrich our youth's summer experience in a number of ways. https://lnkd.in/egWp9-ci

Better, Brighter Futures for Kids
About us
The Home for Little Wanderers helps build stable lives and hopeful futures for children and their families. Through a wide range of innovative community-based and residential programs, we ensure the emotional, social, educational and physical well-being of more than 15,000 children and families each year. Many of these children have experienced abuse, neglect, trauma or a disrupted family life. As the oldest child welfare agency in America, we provide them with safe surroundings, permanent, loving relationships and a secure path toward a better, brighter future. Because every child deserves happiness, and no child should go through life alone.

Last month, The Home was proud to be represented at the National Conference on Community and Restorative Justice in Washington, D.C., by Senior Clinical Trainer Elizabeth Woodruff, LICSW, and Director of DEIB Naomi R. Thompson, J.D. In their presentation, “Moving at the Speed of Trust: How Circles with Mental Health Workers Support Belonging and Wellbeing,” the pair discussed the importance of Circle Practice in supporting DEIB initiatives and community-building. At The Home, we have seen the benefits of this practice firsthand, since we began incorporating it across multiple programs in 2011. Thank you to the National Association of Community and Restorative Justice (NACRJ) for giving The Home a platform to share the power of this practice with restorative justice professionals, educators, advocates and leaders from across the globe!

After volunteering with The Home in June, Meggie Baron knew she wanted to do more for youth across our agency. She was especially inspired by our work that assists families at risk of homelessness, and began looking for opportunities to support The Home’s programs helping families navigate hardships related to housing instability. It wasn’t long after volunteering with her employer Deloitte that she joined The Home’s 2024 Falmouth Road Race, Inc. team. The Cambridge resident and Scituate native has since spent much of her summer fundraising and raising awareness for The Home’s mission to help children and their families create permanent, positive change. Meggie, we can’t wait to see you crush the race this Sunday for kids across The Home! If you would like to support Meggie in the final leg of her fundraising efforts, please visit https://lnkd.in/evtyu8Yh. #charityrun #fundraising #corporatevolunteering

Special Education Teacher Brittany Winslow has served youth at The Home’s COVE School for over ten years. When asked what she’d like others to know about the school with which she has taught hundreds of students, she replies, “that we exist!” Tucked away in the wooded hills of Plymouth, Brittany and her COVE School colleagues support residential and day students, ages 12 to 18, with self-regulation, mental health or academic challenges. In a few short weeks, she will run the Falmouth Road Race to proudly represent her team of educators and raise awareness for The COVE School’s work to advance students’ academic, emotional, physical and ethical development. All of us here at The Home are cheering you on, Brittany! You are making your students proud! Wish to support Brittany’s fundraising efforts?

Huge thanks to Enterprise Fleet Management, who recently spent the day with us at The Home's Walpole campus to complete multiple projects across the grounds for our staff and youth! This group painted, planted three trees and seal-coated our beautiful pergola that welcomes all in our community when they arrive. We can't wait to watch our new trees grow! 🌲 They will serve as a daily reminder of the amazing contributions of our volunteers. #volunteer #giveback #communityimpact

On July 26, The Home welcomed Representative Marjorie Decker and Senator Julian Cyr to Youth on Fire to celebrate the reopening of the program formerly operated by Fenway Health. Joined by officials from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, our legislators met with The Home’s Youth on Fire team and connected with kids and their families to hear how the program has supported them in their time of need. As we enter an exciting new chapter of Youth on Fire, we thank both Representative Decker and Senator Cyr for valuing the essential work of this program and helping to keep its doors open to the Cambridge community over the last decade and a half.
