Community Service

Our residents give back — building character, responsibility, and community ties through meaningful service work.

Giving Back as Part of Growing Up

At Heartland Boys Home, community service is a cornerstone of our program. We believe that contributing to something bigger than yourself is one of the most powerful ways to develop responsibility, empathy, and pride.

Our residents regularly participate in service projects throughout the Geneva area and surrounding communities — from yard work and clean-up projects to helping local organizations with tasks that need an extra set of hands. It's good for the community, and it's good for the boys.
