best senior2

This year, we had 8 young men graduate from our program. All of the boys have plans to continue their education in some way- either through trades study or college. These young men have overcome many obstacles to get to this point and many of them didn’t see graduating high school as an option before Boys Home. We are thankful to our donors for giving them this chance at success and we’re thankful that these young men persevered and graduated!

The Country Club of Virginia wrote a great article about the visit. You can find the article by CLICKING HERE.

Roanoke’s WSLS Channel 10 featured Boys Home in a story about houseparents Ronnie and Linda Angle. Houseparents live with the boys on campus when they’re working and work 4 day shifts. They run each cottage as a household and take care of everything from waking the boys up in the morning to completing daily paperwork for each boy.

Ronnie and Linda Angle have been with us as houseparents for 5 years at Boys Home. As a married couple, they work in separate cottages during their shifts and live on campus when they’re off shift. They’ve impacted many lives during their 5 years here at Boys Home.
