Boys Republic seeks to give adolescent youth with behavioral, educational, emotional, and psychological difficulties an opportunity to achieve their maximum potential for responsible, self-directed life within the community. Family reunification is viewed as a primary goal with lifelong permanent relationships ensured for all youth as a part of planning for eventual transition back to the community. We consider the development of academic, vocational, self-regulation, and social skills essential in assisting the youth we serve to return to the community as thriving, productive citizens.
