WHO WE ARE & WHAT WE DO

Kearsarge Community Network (KCN) was developed with support from a UNH Extension initiative. Our goal is to bring together local partners from nonprofit organizations, civic groups, towns, schools, and businesses in the Kearsarge area. We collaborate on activities, programs, and events that cultivate resiliency and wellness skills. KCN meets the 3rd Wednesday of every month.
