Cast Away and Teach Love

Boys Town:

Today’s children are tomorrow’s leaders, innovators, and hope for the future. While some children have many opportunities to shine in these areas, others don’t, because they are struggling to survive poverty, abuse, neglect, and families in crisis. Regardless of a person’s background, race, or religion, Boys Town believes that everyone deserves the chance to reach their full potential.

Unfortunately, even with the many young lives we save and change, there are still far too many boys and girls who could benefit from our help but don’t know how to find it. We hope you can help increase awareness to those youth (and their families) who need the unique assistance our Hotline services provide. 

We have grown to become a national organization that reaches communities from coast to coast, and our scope has expanded to include in-home family counseling, health care and programs to rebuild at-risk schools.

One of our services, provided free of charge, is the Boys Town National Hotline®, a 24/7 crisis hotline for kids and parents. It provides a website specifically for teenagers called www.YourLifeYourVoice.org .  For 30 years, the Boys Town National Hotline® and its extended services have been answering the call when children and parents need immediate, professional, and compassionate assistance, answering 150,000 calls, emails, texts, and chats a year.

Cast Away
A group of three teens wades ashore on a remote island after capsizing. They are alarmed at the prospect of being marooned with no water, no food, and – worst of all – no social media! CAST AWAY does not lecture teens on how excessive social use can contribute to depression, but warns with a wink – showing teens in exaggerated activities while still riveted to their phones. Final suggestion – phones can also be used to call people, an activity far more “social” than “social.media.”

Teach Love
Praise is powerful for kids to hear at home AND in the classroom. Visit parenting.org from Boys Town to explore our vast library of resources backed by over 100 years of experience to share more praise with the kids in your life. Let’s teach more love in our homes and classrooms. For every age and every stage, Boys Town.
