​​The Boys ​Town office in Spencer, Iowa is approaching its five year anniversary since its opening in 2011. The office opened its doors in early July 2011 and during their first year, they were able to serve a total of 29 families and 61 youth. Since its opening, the office has continued to grow in the number of children and families they serve within the Spencer community and surrounding communities with 93 percent of the children they serve remaining in their homes.

“Over the past five years, the Boys Town Spencer Iowa office has established presence within the community as a high-quality family service provider,” In-Home Family Services Supervisor, CJ Bauman said. “We have built our knowledge base on services provided to families within the community.”

The office is moving to a larger office to accommodate the growing number of families they serve. This move will provide the office with additional space to conduct valuable employee meetings and to serve more families.

The new office is located in a neighborhood setting and CJ Bauman hopes this will help build their already established community relationships. “Consumers and client surveys have been very positive,” Bauman said. “The new move into a residential setting allows us the opportunity to really make our presence known in the neighborhood.”

In honor of its five year anniversary and new office space, the Spencer, Iowa office is hosting an open house. The open house will serve as an opportunity to invite community members into the office and educate them on the services they provide while building valuable relationships.

Congrats to the Spencer, Iowa office on five years of serving children and families!
