What we do
Our Services
Housing
We provide a structured living environment in which the children, with the help of dedicated staff, are encouraged to utilize adaptive coping techniques and build on social skills.
Education
We provide academic tutoring, in-school support and help teach our children the independent living skills that they need to transition to independent living.
Family
The ultimate goal of our program is to help children reunite with their families, which is accomplished by our wide variety of family-focused services.
Community
We are only able to continue to help children in need because of the generous individuals and organizations in the Dover community and we show our gratitude by being as involved with our community as possible.
Get Involved Today
Dover Children’s Home has been able to provide services to NH’s most vulnerable children and their families for over 127 years, but only with the philanthropy and support of our community. There is more than one way to help us continue our mission of supporting youth in their path to living successful, productive and positive lives.
Upcoming Events
May 7, 2020: First Ever At-Home Tasting Tour
Let us bring the Tasting Tour to you! In order to practice social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, we made the difficult decision to cancel our traditional Tasting Tour. That doesn’t mean you need to miss out on delicious wine and food! To maintain this event, continue to support local small businesses, and connect with our donors, we have decided to partner with Flag Hill Winery in Lee, Diverge restaurant in downtown Dover, and Tendercrop Farm at the Red Barn in Dover to bring the Tasting Tour safely to your home! To see more details and learn how to register, check out our flyer. Contact Lauren with any questions or concerns
