Our founder, Father Edward Flanagan, believed “there is no such thing as a bad boy.' He believed that if you wanted true, long-lasting learning, it can best be done through kindness, care and concern. When we teach our kids to do good, they want to do more of it. 💙 #TeachLove

I hope that my story encourages them to continue to rise above their circumstances.

During my recent visit to Boys Town, I was inspired by the justice impacted youths who are wanting to make a difference. As I have always stated, now is not the time to give up on our children. We must all come together and show them compassion and love.
