Friends Program

The Friends Program, founded in 1975, is a non-profit social service organization that works to strengthen communities by building positive connections and solutions for at-risk youth, families and seniors.

We serve eight NH counties and work on behalf of the state’s most vulnerable populations. The agency strives to meet its mission through operating a permanent year-round shelter for homeless families with children, mentoring programs for at-risk youth, an intergenerational program that creates meaningful opportunities for seniors to work with children in classrooms, and a senior volunteer program that links a volunteer’s skills to otherwise unmet needs within the communities that we serve.
