Information

Boys Town North Florida offers a variety of services based on the research-proven Boys Town Model. Our Family Home Program provides a family for children ages 12 to 18. Six to eight boys or girls live in single-family homes with a married couple called Family-Teachers®. In these homes, youth learn social and independent living skills that help them find success in school and in their community.
Youth and their family are involved in services to support permanency. Our Foster Family Services provide trained and supported resource families that open their homes to children who need a place to safely live. Youth of all ages are served. In-Home Family Services partners with parents and their children in learning productive and supportive ways to prevent difficult situations and learn to manage difficulties in daily living in their own homes. This intensive service aims to keep families together. Community-based services include a wide range of resources to learn and empower parents and children to get the assistance they may need. Care Coordination Services provides a lifeline. The Agency will work with the University in providing learning experiences for students that meet applicable Agency standards, that meet the stated objectives of the University's Educational Experiences, and that effectively facilitate the student's learning process.
