Dear Visitors,

Thank you for visiting the Boys & Girls Town of Missouri website. I invite you to browse these pages to learn more about the important services we provide. Whether you are a parent seeking help, a referral agency looking for the best treatment for a child or a supporter interested in helping abused and neglected children, we provide important services to help children and their families.

At Boys & Girls Town, our mission is to improve the lives of children with emotional and behavioral problems through superior, family-focused services. Our treatment programs employ a strength-based approach, we help each child discover the talents & strengths in themselves. By reinforcing positive behaviors, we help children improve their self-esteem and develop positive relationships with their peers and families.

In 2009 Boys & Girls Town of Missouri merged with Edgewood Children’s Center, based in St. Louis. The merged agency helped children and families in 97 Missouri counties including the City of St. Louis, representing 85 percent of the state. We also serve children and families from other states. Through foster care case management, residential care, community outreach and specialized education services we impact the lives of more than 9,600 children and their family members each year.
