Boysville is designed to help children in crisis who cannot remain in their own home for a variety of reasons. The children come from homes that are in crisis, due to emotional, physical or sexual abuse. Children who come to Boysville come from various backgrounds. Boysville does not look at the child's past...we look at their future.

By providing food, shelter, and clothing, and medical services, this organization is able to provide the basic necessities needed to make the child feel safe and comfortable. The residents do not have to wonder if they will eat that night or have a safe place to sleep. With the education services, the children realize their potential. Boysville encourages education and to explore college, trade or military options. Options that previously seemed like a dream.

This organization pulls children out of abuse cycles or poverty cycles and teaches them to become an active part of society. Their mission is to help boys and girls become responsible adults by going to school, making good choices, and continuing to be a good citizen. At Boysville, everyone is considered family! Thank you Vanessa Silva for your kind recommendation and personal involvement!
