A Lifeline Across Lifespans
Empowering people of all ages through an array of human services and advocacy since 1850.
175th Anniversary
2025 marks a milestone year for Waypoint, the state’s longest-running human service / children’s charitable organization. Over 175 years, we have constantly evolved with the changing times to better support people as they change course in their own lives. As a lifeline across the lifespan, we provide support and services for all ages with a focus on advocacy that impacts the future for all.
Get Involved
There are many ways to support our life changing work, from participating in events such as our annual SleepOut to increase awareness of youth homelessness, to joining our community as a valued donor.
Advocacy
Our advocacy team works at the legislative level to shape laws and public policies to advance the well-being of children and families. Since 1971, we have worked in alongside with other advocates across the state, including teachers, lawyers, doctors, social service professionals and others, as a collective now known as the NH Children’s Lobby. Always at the forefront of social service and social justice, Waypoint’s advocacy team continues to guard children’s rights and serve the evolving needs of each new generation.
Activities
Waypoint offers a wide range of free activities and groups to create community, share knowledge, develop tools and skills, have fun, and empower individuals of all ages. From caregiver and parenting support, to family events and playgroups, these activities strengthen family bonds and the connections we have with one another.
