Boys Town Florida - Central Region Opens Doors to New Services

Boys Town Florida Demetree Campus is growing with the addition of a new facility, expanding its critical services to children and families. 

The new Intervention and Assessment Home, opening May 13, will help Boys Town provide aid to boys, ages 10 to 17.  “The new shelter will assist us in offering a safe place for Florida’s youth” said Greg Zbylut, Boys Town Florida - Central Region Executive Director.  “It will offer assistance to those children who have been abandoned, neglected, or abused and are in need for an emergency placement option that wouldn’t previously have been provided.”

The new shelter will replace the existing boys’ shelter in Sanford, Fla., and help further the 10-year growth plan for the Demetree Campus.  The second oldest and largest site outside the National Headquarters and Home Campus in Omaha, Neb., Boys Town will bring all Central Florida’s programs in the Continuum of Child and Family Services to the Demetree Campus. 

“Going forward, it is our plan to put all programming on one large campus like Home Campus, allowing us to further our Continuum of Child and Family Services in a village setting,” said Zbylut.  The Continuum of Services provided by Boys Town allows children and families to access the right care at the right time—what they need when they need it most.

The Continuum of services provided by Boys Town allows children and families to access the right care at the right time – what they need when they need it most.  The Continuum of Child and Family Services range from Treatment Family Services and Intervention and Assessment Services to Support Services such as the Boys Town National Hotline.

Since the Boys Town Florida - Central Region site opened in 1986, more than 14,000 Central Florida children and families have received healing and hope through life-changing care at the Demetree Campus in Oviedo.
