What Most People Don't Know About Boys Town

For more than 100 years, Boys Town has helped children and families rebuild their lives, but most people have no idea how far its impact truly reaches. In this episode of The Inner Circle, Gil Cohen sits down with Rod Kempkes, President and CEO of Boys Town, and Father Jeff Mollner, the organization's spiritual director, for a powerful conversation about the legacy, evolution, and future of one of America's most recognized nonprofits. From family reunification and mental health support to crisis intervention, education, healthcare, and faith, this episode reveals how Boys Town has expanded far beyond its Omaha campus while staying true to Father Flanagan's original mission of hope and healing. You'll also hear the remarkable story behind Boys Town's founding, why it became its own municipality, and what Father Flanagan's recent elevation to "Venerable" means in the path toward sainthood. If you think Boys Town is just a campus in Omaha, this conversation may completely change your perspective.
