As a board member of Boys Town Louisiana I have witnessed firsthand the fantastic work of this organization helping troubled youth to improve their lives. Boys Town served nearly 1,000 youth last year in various programs including our Family Homes, Intervention and Assessment , In Home family counseling and Early Head Start. Our Successful Futures program assists youth transitioning into adulthood. My Community Cares assists families getting on a solid path forward. Our programs are designed to assist the child and their family. Please join me in supporting this worthwhile cause.

Boys Town Louisiana's mission is to change the way America cares for children and families. Through research-based care, we provide safe homes, in-home support, and community-based services that help Louisiana's most vulnerable children and families heal and thrive. Founded in 1917 by Father Edward J. Flanagan, Boys Town began as a refuge for children facing abuse, neglect, homelessness, or involvement with the juvenile justice system. Today, Boys Town Louisiana (BTLA) is one of six national affiliate sites within the nonsectarian, nonprofit Boys Town network-proudly carrying forward a legacy of compassionate, comprehensive care for children and families in need.
