WHO WE ARE

Changing lives for a lifetime. 

Tulsa Boys' Home has developed a powerful relationship healing model - helping each boy heal, move forward, and learn how to integrate back into a life they have always longed to live. The mission of Tulsa Boys' Home is to provide the highest quality residential care for boys needing placement outside their home, for the purpose of developing well-adjusted, responsible adults and strengthening the family.

Founded in 1918, Tulsa Boys’ Home began in a two-story house in downtown Tulsa. Leaders of the First Presbyterian Church and the Downtown Rotary Club were instrumental in its establishment. Its first two boys were found sleeping in trash boxes in an alley. Tulsa Boys' Home grew dramatically during those early years, and by 1924 became a charter member of the Community Fund (the organization that evolved into the Tulsa Area United Way).

In 1979, TBH moved to its present location, a 160-acre site in west Tulsa County in Sand Springs, Oklahoma. Always evolving to meet the needs of troubled boys and their families, TBH is now recognized and nationally accredited as a residential treatment facility for boys with emotional, behavioral, and substance abuse problems.

Tulsa Boys' Home was the first and remains the largest residential treatment facility serving troubled boys in Oklahoma. Each year, we deliver residential services to approximately 125 boys (62 boys average per day reside on our campus) between the ages of 13 to 18. 50 of our boys are placed by the Department of Human Services, and parents or legal guardians privately place the other 12 here for drug treatment.

Many of these boys learn to lead happy and productive lives, and credit TBH for breaking the cycle of poverty, abuse, and neglect that is often passed on from generation to generation if no help is available.

Tulsa Boys' Home is nationally accredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA), headquartered in New York City. COA has awarded TBH at least a 99% compliance rating every 4 years for meeting or exceeding the highest standards of professional performance in our field since 2002. Re-accreditation is undergone every four years.
