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.

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.
