Girls and Boys Town

Established in 1958, Girls & Boys Town (GBT) is a national non-profit organisation that runs proven and successful programmes to strengthen vulnerable youth. Through a combination of interventions we, on average, assist between 16 000 to 20 000 beneficiaries a year.

Our core focus is to remove the obstacles and barriers that prevent children from finding their light – and helping them to Shine®.

GBT IS THUS COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH:
Vulnerable children both placed into our therapeutic residential campuses nationally, via the Children’s [not criminal] Courts

Children and families in their own communities and family homes nationally, where they are identified as being vulnerable

Community schools nationally, where learners face obstacles and barriers to learning

Researching youth in transition as we reach for identifying indicators of success for youth and contributing to the local and international professional knowledge field.
