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.”
