About Us

At Boys Town, we provide an array of life-changing youth care and health care services that meet each child and family exactly where they are so they get the right kind of care, at the right time, in the right way. Whether caring for a child in crisis, treating complex health care conditions or helping families find the parenting resources they need, Boys Town is here for you and your family with expert, compassionate care and a proven track record of helping children and families heal and grow in mind, body and spirit.

Research is critical to our mission and plays an important role in the development and delivery of our youth care and health care services to families, children and patients. Boys Town is internationally recognized as a research leader in hearing, language and related communication disorders and pioneering research in childhood neurobehavioral disorders. Through each of our research centers, we translate findings directly into the care we provide for children, families and patients.

Boys Town believes that children should be treated as children, especially when they violate the law and enter the juvenile justice system. We believe in rehabilitation and redemption for kids, rather than punishment and incarceration, and advocate for fair treatment and practices that take into consideration a child’s age, developmental level and lack of decision-making abilities. Given the right interventions and support, no child is beyond hope.
