Dedham Savings Community Foundation Supports Walker Therapeutic and Educational Programs

The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has donated $5,000 to Walker Therapeutic and Educational Programs. The grant will be used toward their new enrichment programming which benefits children ages 3 to 14 facing complex emotional, behavioral, and learning challenges. Walker’s typical off-site activities have been postponed due to the pandemic, and the new programming will allow children to participate in healthy and enjoyable activities on site.

ABOUT WALKER THERAPEUTIC AND EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

Founded in 1961, Walker Therapeutic & Educational Programs (Walker) is a leading nonprofit organization providing comprehensive programming in the fields of child welfare, children’s behavioral health, and special education. Walker provides high-quality, evidence-informed support and services to children and families from over 150 communities throughout Massachusetts. While Walker is perhaps best known for offering effective therapeutic settings in both its residential and education programs, Walker’s portfolio of programs includes a full array of outpatient, home-based, and community-based services.
