Lift with Boys Town
Generate Community wide Impact
In 2014, we began partnering with high-needs schools in Las Vegas to strengthen the families of struggling students. Encouraged by the early outcomes, including better attendance and improved parent engagement at school, The Latin Chamber of Commerce, local philanthropists and several school principals called upon Boys Town Nevada to expand and enhance these partnerships. Fully implemented in the 2018-2019 school year, Lift with Boys Town incorporates parent-training classes, in-home family consulting, case management, behavioral health services and professional development for educators.
