Many children in our Family Home program have never attended a family dinner. Never participated in sports or been on a vacation. Never really felt safe. Family-Teachers, the backbone of Boys Town’s residential program, change all of that for at-risk youth.

Family-Teaching Couples live on-site in individual residences and provide direct care for 6 to 8 same gender youth. In this role, they create a safe and loving family-style living environment, where youth are given a second chance.

Family-Teachers guide youth, using the positive and encouraging Boys Town Model ®, to learn and develop the appropriate social skills and behaviors to enable them to heal, grow and maintain healthy relationships, and ultimately, to have the opportunity to achieve the fulfilling lives they deserve.

Boys Town Family Teachers enjoy:

• A highly competitive salary and amazing benefits
• Fully-paid living expenses, including rent, utilities and a monthly household budget, including separate quarters for the parents and their own children
• A company vehicle
• The opportunity to earn college credit while working
• Relocation assistance, if needed

Above all, Family-Teachers make a life-changing difference in the futures of the youth in their care, providing them with a solid foundation and a place they can always call home.
