Providing a Home for Adolescents in Need, Preparing Them for Their Futures & Reuniting Families
Dover Children’s Home is a non-profit, intermediate-level residential treatment program designed to provide a wide array of community-based services for youth ages 10-20. We proudly serve youth from all New Hampshire communities who have faced significant trauma and familial disruptions.
Dover Children’s Home strives to provide youth and families with as many opportunities as possible to experience success and personal growth. It is our belief that providing a combination of experiences, including age-appropriate, typical, adolescent activities and therapeutic, support activities will help the youth become more engaged, active members of the community.

PILOT HOUSE: Providing Independent Living
Opportunities for Teens
The PILOT House apartment program helps prepare older adolescents for life as a successful adult.

Passive staff support is available to assist the youth in problem solving and skill building.
