Boys Town Information

Our Mission Changing the way America cares for children, families and communities by providing and promoting an Integrated Continuum of CareSM that instills Boys Town values to strengthen body, mind and spirit. About Us Boys Town has been a national leader in the care and treatment of children since its founding more than 90 years ago by Father Edward Flanagan. As one of the largest nonprofit, nonsectarian child and family care organizations in the country, Boys Town provides compassionate, research-proven treatment for behavioral, emotional and physical problems. Boys Town’s outreach is national in scope, with treatment and care programs at more than a dozen sites across the country and our focus is on implementing our unique Integrated Continuum of Care. The Continuum provides a tightly integrated spectrum of research-proven services based on the consistent delivery of the Boys Town Model. Children and families can begin services in the Continuum at the level that best suits their needs. As they progress or their needs change, they can move from treatment levels of more intensive care to ones of greater independence and empowerment. This unique approach enables us to help more children and families in more ways, with the same expectations for positive results.
