Welcome to Boys & Girls Village's web site. We are an IRS 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit agency that serves at-risk children and families in Connecticut. Our Mission is to "serve children and families in at-risk situations by strengthening their ability to succeed in life." It has remained the same since our founding in 1942 as the original "Boys Village" for orphaned boys. Yes, a lot has changed in our society and world since the dark days of World War II 68 years ago when we were founded on a then-rural 82 acres located in western Milford, New Haven County, CT.

Certainly, Boys & Girls Village is a business in every sense of the word. We are in the business of helping at-risk children and families in crisis. Unfortunately, it is a growth business, especially in urban and poor areas and considering the depth and breadth of problems persisting in the 21st century. Children's issues are complicated in scope and complexity.
