About Boys Republic
Boys Republic is a private, nonprofit, nonsectarian school and treatment community for troubled youngsters. Since its founding in 1907, it has guided more than 33,000 at-risk teenage boys and girls toward productive, fulfilling lives.
On its central school and farm in Chino Hills, California, and in residential and day treatment centers in other communities, Boys Republic and its companion program, Girls Republic, help children in desperate need find within themselves the resources and skills to begin meaningful lives on their own.
Our Mission
We empower at-risk youth facing behavioral, emotional, and educational challenges by helping them build the skills, confidence, and family connections needed to lead responsible, independent lives and successfully reintegrate into their communities.
