The Home for Little Wanderers is a nationally renowned, private, non-profit child and family service agency. It has been part of the Massachusetts landscape for over 200 years, making it the oldest agency of its kind in the nation and one of the largest in New England.

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 Home houses and counsels run-away children, and provides substance-abuse counseling and out-reach to gay, lesbian, and transgendered youth.
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.
