On Tuesday, August 27th, our Belief Employee Resource Group hosted a concert at the park at the Boys Town Park Pavilion on the lake! Our Boys Town youth and staff gathered to celebrate strength and dedication with live music by Hydrothonic and Keelin Johnson and a special Indigenous ceremony. It was a night filled with faith, culture, and community. Thank you to everyone who joined us! #BELIEF #YouthEmpowerment #Community #LiveMusic #BoysTown

About us
Boys Town has been a national leader in the care and treatment of children since its founding more than 100 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. We believe that every child, regardless of circumstance, deserves the opportunity to succeed. We also recognize that every child is an individual with unique needs. That’s why, over many decades, we have developed a distinctive, research-based approach to achieving our vision that has proven successful for tens of thousands of children and families.

We had a wonderful time viewing the documentary Blue Baby with all of our staff and some board members. This documentary is an incredibly inspiring story directed by Josh Sabey that follows 8 incarcerated youth that are placed at #BoysTown as a prison alternative. Their story challenges what people have believed about problem behavior for thousands of years and my team here at Boys Town South Florida agreed that they were inspired and felt a renewed commitment to our Mission after watching. 📽️🎞️🎥 #JuvenileJustice #Prevention #diversion #juvenileJusticeReform #documentary

#OnThisDay in 1904, 18-year-old Edward Flanagan immigrated to America from Ireland with his two siblings, Patrick and Nellie. As their boat arrived at Ellis Island, this photograph was taken. The Flanagan brothers are in the front to the right with their caps on. Eventually, Edward settled in Omaha, Nebraska and founded Father Flanagan’s Boys’ Home in 1917. Today, we serve over two million children and families each year. #BoysTownHistory

Our #BoysTownResearch made its way to Copenhagen, Denmark! 🌎 Lee Evans, Ph.D., Brittany Grey, Ph.D., and Krystal Werfel, Ph.D. recently attended the 2024 SOCIETY FOR THE SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF READING where they presented their research on literacy and reading development in children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Their presentations covered topics ranging from the use of story writing elements to phonological memory and vocabulary development. #SSSR #Copenhagen #SavingChildrenHealingFamilies #research #SLP
