The Home for Little Wanderers

The Home for Little Wanderers is a private non-profit child and family service agency. It has been part of the Massachusetts landscape for more than 200 years, making it the oldest agency of its kind in the nation and one of the largest in New England. Originally founded as an orphanage in 1799, The Home today plays a leadership role in delivering services to thousands of children and families each year through a system of residential, community-based and prevention programs, direct care services, and advocacy.

The Home's services include early intervention and prevention, foster care and adoption, clinical services, residential care, special education, and home-based family support.

The mission of The Home for Little Wanderers is to ensure the healthy emotional, mental, and social development of children at risk, their families, and communities. The guiding principle at The Home is a belief in the right of all children to be safe, nurtured and developed to reach their full potential.

The Home's main office is located at 271 Huntington Ave, Boston and has other locations throughout Eastern Massachusetts.
