Darlene Hayden– Regional Director, Laconia, NH
As Regional Director, Darlene oversees all NH locations for Work Opportunities Unlimited. She took on this role in July of 2021. She was promoted into the role of Regional Director in February 2018 from her position as Director, where she oversaw the implementation of services with the Department of Developmental Services, Department of Children and Families, Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, and Department of Youth Services.
A graduate of Fitchburg State College with a degree in elementary education and a concentration in psychology, Darlene was drawn to Work Opportunities after recognizing that the organization’s mission and core values closely aligned with her desire to work with youth and help make a difference in people’s lives.
