Changing the Way America Cares for Children
Our mission is to change the way America cares for children and families. From our innovative child and family care to our compassionate healthcare and ground-breaking research, we are saving children and healing families for a brighter tomorrow.
From Struggle to Strength:
Thomas' Story
Thomas’ story is one of resilience, hope and transformation. As a young child, Thomas faced trauma, including being shot just before his 11th birthday. Despite the odds, he found healing, purpose and a brighter future at Boys Town.
Thomas’ journey is a powerful testament to Boys Town’s impact on young lives.
Meet the Man Who Started It All, Father Edward J. Flanagan
Our founder, Father Flanagan, was a true visionary of his time. His dream and our founding principles are alive today, and are as relevant as they were when Boys Town first opened its doors more than a century ago.
