Yesterday we looked at Boys & Girls Clubs of America, an organization that aims to “promote and enhance the development of boys and girls.” Today’s organization has a similar sounding mission, but they’re doing very different work. Boys Town is an Omaha, NE based non-profit that gives “at-risk children the family, support and care they need to overcome their circumstances and realize their potential.” A Boys and Girls Club is a safe place to go for a couple of hours after school–Boys Town is about giving children a safe place to grow into healthy, happy adults.

Who’s in Town?

For nearly a century Boys Town has been providing “compassionate treatment for the behavioral, emotional and physical problems of children and families.” The organization is now at the point where its work is touching more than 2 million people annually. You can learn more about how Boys Town does this by reading about their approach, their model, and their integrated continuum. After doing that, you should take a look at Boys Town’s Youth Stories and Family Stories so that you can better understand the kind of results they aim for. If working with youth and families speaks to you, visit Boys Town’s Careers page. There are a variety of positions that look like they could be a great fit for a new or recent grad.
