Inside Look at a Boys Town Family Home

Thank you for joining us for Boys Town's History Week. Our organization has a rich history spanning over a century, and it all started with Father Flanagan.

Since 1917, boys and girls have been coming to Boys Town to benefit from compassionate, life-changing care that helps them make positive changes in their behavior and their outlook for the future. The children who come to Boys Town have often lived in situation, where there was little predictability, structure or safety. 

Welcome Home

When youth arrive at Boys Town, many of them are surprised to find that they will be living in a Family Home. But they find all of that here – together with a healthy dose of love and encouragement. The video below will give you a sneak peek into what a Family Home in Boys Town is really like.
