Where Hope Grows

In 2025, we served 1,600 people of all ages from 175 cities and towns across New England.


Each year, we provide over 8,000 mental health sessions, ensuring participants across our programs have access to therapy and clinical support as needed.

This Past Year....

Expanded Learning Access 

We doubled the number of elementary classrooms at the Doctor Franklin Perkins School so more young students can learn in environments where they truly thrive.

New Adult Services Home 

We opened a welcoming West Boylston residence for three autistic women, supporting their independence and empowering interdependent living.

Multiple Families Formed 

Bright Futures helped 11 families welcome 13 children home from foster care and supported 6 infant adoptions, creating families that will provide the nurturing and love that kids need to thrive.

Rein in a Dream Growth 

RIAD delivered 2,043 lessons this year, with community ridership growing by an incredible 37%.
