For more than a century, Boys Town has been revolutionizing 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.
About Boys Town
Boys Town is one of the largest nonprofit, nonsectarian child and family care organizations in the country. We offer a broad spectrum of child and family services, community programs, and crisis services.
We also provide health and medical care through Boys Town National Research Hospital and other resources; conduct cutting-edge research on child behavior issues; and provide services for children with severe behavioral problems through our Outpatient Behavioral Health programs and residential care programs.
What began as the vision of one man – Father Edward J. Flanagan, Boys Town has been on a mission to change the way America cares for children and families for more than 100 years. Father Flanagan’s dream continues to thrive today, thanks to the heart-felt dedication and collaborative efforts of the entire Boys Town employee team, whose work brings our mission to life every day.
Working at Boys Town is not just a job. It’s a chance to make a real difference in the lives of those who turn to us for hope, healing and a new beginning. Last year alone, Boys Town employees positively impacted more than 650,000 children and families in all 50 states. We know that our reputation as a national leader in child, family and health care is the direct result of the knowledge, integrity and shared mission of our valuable employees who are proud to say, “I work at Boys Town.”
Since 1917, Boys Town has been changing the way America cares for children and families. We’ve grown from a tiny boarding home in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, to a leading national nonprofit offering exceptional care for the behavioral, emotional and physical health of children, families and patients.
At Boys Town, we know that education can change lives as our more than 100-year legacy of educating youth has proved that time and again. Our goal has always been to provide kids with the best education possible to ensure that they can successfully move forward and lead productive lives. Boys Town teachers don’t just make a living, they make a difference!
The needs of those we serve are diverse so Boys Town offers numerous programs to provide effective care to those that need it most.
Accredited by The Joint Commission, Boys Town National Research Hospital offers a broad range of hospital, clinical and residential services, backed by 40 years of life-changing research to provide the latest, most innovative care to our patients.
We are internationally recognized as a leader in clinical and research programs focusing on childhood deafness, developmental language disorder, and related communication disorders. In 2013, we began a new frontier in neurobehavioral research using brain imaging techniques to better help diagnose and treat troubled children with severe behavioral and mental health problems.
Thanks to the heart-felt dedication and collaborative efforts of the entire Boys Town employee team, our life-changing mission lives on and thrives.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
From its inception in 1917, Boys Town welcomed all children, regardless of race, religion, or diverse backgrounds. At the time, many believed such integration to be scandalous and wrong, but Father Flanagan was steadfast in rejecting all forms of discrimination, and embraced every child who needed hope, a home and a helping hand. His strong values and courage in the face of adversity made Boys Town itself the first intentionally integrated community in the United States.
At Boys Town, we value our employees and work to ensure that they feel engaged, challenged, accepted and appreciated for who they are. Our employees represent different cultures, identities and diverse backgrounds, and when we all come together, we are ONE BOYS TOWN, a stronger, innovative and more focused organization.
