The Home for Little Wanderers helps build stable lives and hopeful futures for vulnerable children. 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. These children are often society's most at-risk, many experiencing abuse, neglect or trauma, and a disrupted family life. Our dedicated team of skilled professionals ensures that each child has safe surroundings, loving relationships and a secure path toward tomorrow. As the oldest child welfare agency in America, we have maintained this commitment for more than 200 years. Because every child deserves happiness, and no child should go through life alone.
