Every Child Deserves a Second Chance
Imagine living in fear every day and not being able to sleep at night. Imagine being bullied to the brink of suicide. Not surprisingly, many of these at-risk youths never learned the social skills they needed, nor were they given the opportunity, to grow into well-adjusted young adults.
Boys Town has been dedicated to saving children like these for 100 years. We believe that every child has the potential to succeed if given the opportunity. So, with your help, we offer programs designed to lift at-risk children out of poverty and despair:
-
Family Home Program
We provide a family for children ages 10 to 18. Six to eight boys or girls live in each single-family home with a married couple called Family-Teachers®. -
Residential Treatment Center
We treat children ages 5 to 17 who have severe behavioral and mental health problems.

Intervention and Assessment Services
We provide care for abused, neglected, runaway and delinquent youth of all ages by removing them from dangerous situations, assessing their needs, and beginning to work toward family reunification or other permanent care. -
Your Life, Your Voice
This
free website allows troubled teens to contact trained counselors via phone, chat, text or email.
