“Provide a safe family environment for children in need so they may become responsible adults.”
– Boysville Mission Statement
Founded in 1943, Boysville began as a home for homeless boys. Today, Boysville provides a continuum of trauma-informed services and care for children and caregivers affected by abuse, neglect, and family crisis. Since 2000, our programs have been nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation.
Boysville serves over 300 boys and girls annually through a continuum of services. We remain unique as we continue to accept privately placed children. Our agency‘s programs include Emergency Shelter, Residential Care, Supervised Independent Living, Community Based Foster Care, and Supporting Parents and Reaching Kids. Every child in our care is provided with group and individual therapy, academic assistance, and recreational activities to assist in their healing from past trauma.
