The Upper Valley Haven
Be Kind. Be Thoughtful. Be Helpful.
How The Haven Helps Kids
More than half of The Haven's guests are children.
- We offer them hope for a better life.
- We treat them with kindness.
- We value them.
- Our Children’s Advocate makes sure that kids’ needs are not overlooked while their families are in the crises of homelessness.
- We have computers for them to use so they don’t fall behind in their studies or skills.
- We have “homework clubs” run by staff & volunteers, who also model positive adult behavior. These are open to current and former guests, as well as other at-risk kids.
- We take them on field trips to share with them a richer, more fulfilling world (including musical, theatrical, and sporting events).
- We offer programs to help their parents be better parents.
- We offer them an opportunity to escape the cycles of poverty, hopelessness, and despair their families are in.
- We continue to work with them even after they leave The Haven.
