The following list is of multiple social services available in Concord,
New Hampshire to individuals who are of all ages. I chose Concord
because it's central to the state of New Hampshire and I spend a lot
of time there. I think that I have an interest in working for some of
these social service agencies. I have worked with DCYF, Waypoint,
Ascentria, and the Community Action Program while being involved
in foster care as a foster parent and have had mostly positive
experiences.
