ABOUT THE RIVER CENTER
The River Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit family and community resource center in Peterborough, NH.

To achieve that goal, its mission is to provide parent education, family support, economic opportunity programs, and community connections to strengthen individuals and families.

The Parent Guidance Center became The Family Center in 2003, and from 2005-2009, housed the 5-year federally funded "Under One Roof Project,” whose mission was to promote the inclusion of individuals with developmental disabilities through meaningful work and recreation. In 2010, The Family Center and The River Center Community Resource Center merged to become The River Center Family and Community Resource Center. Designated by the Wellness and Primary Prevention Council of the NH legislature as a Family Resource Center of Quality (FRC-Q), The River Center has an annual budget of approximately $500K, and operates thanks to grants, charitable giving, and support from the towns it serves.
