Lift your school to new heights where any child can succeed in every classroom.
At Boys Town, we’ve been changing the ways that America cares for children and families for more than 100 years. We understand that the education systems in our communities are facing unprecedented critical issues. Student absenteeism, disruptive classroom behavior, disengaged parents and educators who are overwhelmed and frustrated by a lack of resources are driving many of our communities into crisis.
That’s why we created our Lift with Boys Town initiative. This powerful program partners students, schools, educators, parents and community members with Boys Town experts to meet the issues head-on. Our program uses research-proven tools and strategies to teach practical, real-world social skills that can be used to manage behaviors and build relationships. We know it works, as we have witnessed success at schools nationwide.
