For 70 years, Boys & Girls Village has been one of Connecticut’s leading caregivers for families and children struggling with significant:

• Emotional, behavioral and psychiatric disorders 
• Permanency placement and foster care needs
• Special education needs

Just last year, Boys & Girls Village touched the lives of 5,000 Connecticut children and families, from 50 different Connecticut communities, providing a wide range of family-centered services and evidenced-based treatment approaches that helped children heal, learn and grow.
 

“Boys & Girls Village accomplished in just 6 months what other programs did not come close to accomplishing in 3 ½ years! What a great, well-rounded program. Staff kept me informed, and everyone was also friendly and helpful. We can’t begin to thank you for everything you’ve done.”
