Boys Town (organization)

Boys Town is a special organization that helps children and families who are going through tough times. Imagine you're at school and somebody keeps bothering you or you're having problems at home with your family. Boys Town is a safe place where kids can come to get help and feel better.

Boys Town has been around for a long time, since 1917! It was started by a man named Father Flanagan who wanted to make sure that every child had a place to go where they would be loved and taken care of.

Boys Town has lots of different programs to help kids and families. They have schools where kids can go to learn and get support if they have been struggling in their regular school. Boys Town has a hospital where kids can get medical care if they are sick. They also have programs and resources for parents who need help raising their kids or dealing with difficult situations.

Boys Town believes that every child is important and deserves a chance to be happy and successful. They want to help as many kids as possible and make sure that they grow up to be healthy, responsible adults. That's why they work so hard to provide a safe and supportive environment for kids who are going through tough times.
