“Truthfully, Hanna Boys Center is all about respect. You learn respect for yourself, you learn respect for the people around you… adults… respect authority. It’s kinda hard at first, but it’s pretty much mostly all about respect…and then it goes from there.”

-Anthony, Hanna student







Transforming the Lives of At-Risk Boys
Hanna Boys Center is one of Northern California’s most successful residential treatment centers. For more than 50 years, Hanna Boys Center has helped change the lives of thousands of at-risk boys of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds from the greater Bay Area and beyond, through caring, respect, education, and faith.

Situated on 160 acres in Sonoma (about an hour’s drive north of San Francisco), Hanna Boys Center offers at-risk boys an opportunity to turn their lives around. The Hanna Program helps strengthen the mind, body, and spirit through focused, individualized attention, encouraging each boy to recognize —and realize—his potential.

From the residential living to education and recreation, all in a beautiful, serene setting, the Hanna experience is truly unique in many ways.

We are an independent nonprofit organization that relies solely on private donations to fund our clinical, residential and educational programs. Find out how you can help make a difference in the lives of our boys through
donations, volunteering or working at Hanna.
