Our Mission is to change the way America cares for her children and families by providing and promoting a continuum of care that strengthens them in body, mind and spirit.

Description:
Boys Town is a beacon of hope for America’s children and families through its life-changing youth and health care programs across the United States. Boys Town, the original Father Flanagan's Boys' Home, is a leader in the treatment and care of abused, abandoned and neglected girls and boys. Throughout its nearly 90-year history, the nonprofit, nonsectarian organization has provided these children with a safe, caring, loving environment where they gain confidence to get better and learn skills to become productive citizens.

History:
Boys Town was founded in Omaha, Nebraska in 1917 by Father Flanagan. In August of 2000 we had a name extension to include Girls. There have been movies made about Boys Town and our teaching model is used in schools throughout America. We have grown to include shelters and long term homes in over 14 states.
