Crispin's House Coalition for Youth

Founded in 1989, Crispin’s House Coalition for Youth was born from a desire to protect and empower local youth. While the original goal was a physical shelter, we realized that the best way to support our kids is to be where they already are — in schools, at home, and in the community. We provide youth leadership & mentorship, community-wide education, and juvenile diversion. Our mission is to encourage and empower positive choices in the lives of our young people by helping to create a healthy and supportive community. 

Why Give to Crispin's House on NH Gives Day?

-As household budgets are stretched by the rising costs of groceries and housing, the stress on families intensifies. We are seeing a direct correlation between economic pressure and the mental health of our youth. Your donation ensures that even when times are tough, a child’s access to a mentor or a mental health resource is never a 'budget cut' their family has to make.

-While the cost of providing our evidence-based programs has increased, our commitment to the youth of Goffstown and the surrounding areas has not wavered. A gift of $25 might feel like 'just a few coffees' to you, but to us, it’s the difference between providing a student with a second chance through diversion or letting them slip into an overstretched judicial system.

-NH Gives is built on the idea that thousands of small gifts create a massive wave of change. If every person in our service area gave just $10, we would be fully funded for the entire year. You don't need to be a major donor to be a hero for a local child—you just need to show up. Every dollar helps Crispin’s House unlock bonus pools and matching prizes that are only available during this 24-hour window, making this the most impactful time of year to invest in our local youth! 

Help us build a resilient future for youth!
