Boys gathered for lunch, 1935.

Father Flanagan's Boys' Home welcomed its first residents nearly 75 years ago in December 1917. Father Edward J. Flanagan, a 31-year-old Irish immigrant priest, borrowed $90 from a friend to pay the rent on a home for boys nobody wanted. Discouraged after working for several years with homeless and alcoholic men, Flanagan asked permission from his bishop to care for neglected children instead. His mission was to influence their lives while still young, so they would be better prepared for the adult world.

As his home's reputation grew, so did the number of residents. They came -- abused, abandoned, and neglected -- from every state in the nation. In just four years two homes were outgrown, leading Flanagan to broaden his vision. In 1921 he purchased the 160-acre Overlook Farm, the site of the modern village of Boys Town.

Today Boys Town, occupying 1,300 acres in west-central Omaha, is the only incorporated village in the nation created exclusively for children in need of a fresh start in life. With its own post office, schools, churches, police and fire department, Boys Town provides a home in a community setting for some 550 young people, both boys and girls.

All this didn't happen overnight. Flanagan initially worked from dawn until dusk to get the money needed just for housing and schooling. In 1922 the first major building was constructed. Other expansion projects followed. Boys Town's official incorporation as a village came in 1936.

As in any town, 'citizens' elected their officials. These young leaders monitored life in the dormitories, seeing that everyone got off to campus schools on time, assuring fair play in sports, and supervising 'lights out' at night. Residents continue to lead their student government, although dormitory life is no longer part of the program.

In 1938 Boys Town, already well known, became a household word with the release of the movie starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney. Filmed on location, 'Boys Town' won Academy Awards for best actor and best screenplay.

Before Father Flanagan's death in 1948, the Boys Town choir and football teams began to establish national and international reputations. The football team toured over 20 states, playing before crowds as large as 35,000. The choir performed at Carnegie Hall, on Ed Sullivan's 'Toast of the Town' program, and in Cuba, Canada, and Japan.

Today Boys Town is renowned for another reason: the quality of its child-care program. In a more contemporary setting, children -- boys and girls -- reside in family homes consisting of six to eight boys or girls and a married couple.

These couples, highly trained and called family-teachers, set up a program for each child, teaching such skills as performing household chores, getting along with others, and following instructions. As the child masters each skill, additional privileges and responsibilities are offered. Each evening the family gathers after dinner for a meeting to review the day, to listen to each other, make decisions, and plan for tomorrow.

Approximately 175 of the 550 residents of Boys Town are girls. Like their male counterparts, they are also in need of a new start in life. To reach even more young people, Boys Town USA owns and operates mini-campus sites in Florida, New York, Texas, and Louisiana and has plans to open other sites across the country. Boys Town also has operated Father Flanagan High School since 1983 in the inner city of Omaha for high-risk boys and girls who would probably not graduate from high school without its special programs. The Boys Town National Research Hospital located in downtown Omaha, is a national diagnostic, treatment, and research center for hearing, speech, and language disorders.

Boys Town's family-based programs provide four more services: emergency shelter care for children, treatment foster care, parent training, and in-home crisis intervention for families experiencing great stress. Boys Town's goal is to eventually have these services available at most of its mini-campus sites as well. A new national hotline (1-800-448-3000) offers 24-hour assistance to troubled children and parents, helping callers find support fast, and close to home.

In all, over 17,000 children are helped by Boys Town programs each year. With this expanding array of child and family service, Boys Town has a national impact far beyond the borders of this small Nebraska village.

General Information About Boys Town

Boys Town is embedded within the famous Father Flanagan's Boys' Home. The Home serves approximately 400 youth per day in its Residential Program. The treatment philosophy within the Residential Program is in the operant behaviorism and social learning theory traditions. The dominant perspective is a skills-based model in which youth learn progressively more complex social skills. A motivation system (i.e., token economy) is employed in which points are exchanged for privileges. The primary care agents are Family-Teachers (trained married couples) who are responsible for implementing individual treatment plans.

Normalization of the youth's environment is also considered essential. Youth participate in daily-living chores, prepare their own meals, walk to free-standing schools, and are involved in extracurricular activities. The integrated continuum of care provides support for thousands of youth and their families across the country. The Boys Town program offers interns a diverse training experience.

Applicants have two sites to consider at Boys Town and applicants will interview and rank these two sites separately.

  • Omaha – Child/Adolescent Outpatient
  • Grand Island – Child/Adolescent Outpatient

Boys Town will offer a virtual open house the day prior to interviews. Attendance is strongly encouraged. Virtual interviews are required on one of the designated interview dates. Only applicants who we interview on these designated interview days are ranked. Supervision and training amount and quality is equivalent at both sites; the location and the population served differ.

Applicants to both Boys Town sites are required to have a master's degree in a mental health field and to be eligible for licensure in Nebraska at the master's degree level (pLMHP is the master's degree license).

Clinical Services

Clinical experiences are focused on providing direct (e.g., individual, family, and group therapy) and indirect (consultation) services to children, adolescents, and their caregivers. Direct and indirect clinical hours occur with children and adolescent clients from the greater Omaha metropolitan region and the Boys Town Residential Home Program. During the internship year, interns may also have the opportunity to provide clinical services within a medical clinic, accompanying a supervising psychologist. This may allow for professional development within an integrated care model. We anticipate that this experience will continue to be a part of the training experience.

The Behavioral Health Clinic provides services to individuals and families across the lifespan; however, the internship focuses on services for individuals ages 0-18. Diagnostic profiles for clients vary and can include disruptive behavior disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, eating disorders, and substance abuse disorders, among others.

Interns may have the opportunity to participate in facilitating group therapy. Group therapy may include Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Group for Adolescents (DBT) and Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills Group (Social Skills), though this depends upon the need.

Consultative Services

Interns provide consultative services to Boys Town direct care staff, Boys Town administrators, Boys Town schools and staff, primary care medical providers, school professionals and psychiatrists. Boys Town has an elementary/middle school, a high school, and a day school program on campus.

As a condition of your contract, a satisfactory background check must be completed for anyone who will be performing ongoing services directly targeted to service recipients and anyone who will have unsupervised contact with any service recipient.
