One person can make a difference in the life of a child.
Our children need you! Being a volunteer is a rewarding experience. There are many available volunteer opportunities to choose from special events, tutoring, mentoring or on campus beautification projects! When you give your time to a child in need, you are making a lifetime impact helping to break the cycle of abuse and neglect.

Sponsor a Birthday Party
Remember your best birthday memory? Maybe it was breaking a piñata and running to collect as much candy as possible, going bowling or someone signing “Happy Birthday” to you? For many of our residents this is something they had never experienced until they arrived at Boysville. If your group or organization is looking for a way to get involved, this is a great opportunity to make a lasting memory for our children.
Tutors Needed
Are you good in Math or Science? When was the last time you made an awesome diorama? Maybe you can read a good story? The school season has begun and we need tutors!
