Early bird tickets are here! 🎉

Join NH Children's Trust for the 14th Annual Strengthening Families Summit, Bringing it Home: Centering Families, Strengthening Communities, on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 at Grappone Conference Center in Concord.

We're excited to welcome Tym Rourke, MA as our keynote speaker. Drawing on 25+ years in prevention and community health, and his own family's experience navigating a child's life-threatening illness, Tym will speak to how resilience grows when communities show up for families, not when families have to go it alone.

Spend the day with parent leaders, service providers, educators, and community partners from across the state for hands on learning, a caregiver panel, and an awards ceremony celebrating this work.

🎟️ Early bird tickets: $125 (full event access)

New data shows the NH Child Care Scholarship Program is being used more than ever, with usage up 75% since 2024 and the state investing over $12 million more than last year to meet the need.

We're proud to have supported this program's launch, helping with the campaign, create supplies, and marketing materials that got the word out to families who needed it. Seeing more kids and families access this support is exactly why that work mattered.

With the price of childcare for New Hampshire families rivaling college tuition, more are looking to the state’s scholarship program for assistance. New data shows that in the past fiscal year, usage of the program increased, while the state is spending over $12 million more than the previous year...

We had a blast at NH KidsFest this weekend! 🎪

Carroll and Kat spent this past Saturday at NH KidsFest at Bass Pro Shops in Hooksett, connecting with families and community members enjoying a day full of hands-on activities, performers, and touch-a-trucks. Days like this remind us how much strength shows up when a community gathers around its kids.

Thanks to NH KidsFest and everyone who stopped by to say hello. We loved being part of the day!
