Phase III: Enhancing Healing

Creates dedicated lodging where parents and caregivers can stay on campus, so kids do not have to choose between treatment and their family connections. Families can focus on healing instead of travel costs or long late-night drives.

Grows our capacity for Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, giving more youth access to powerful, trauma-responsive therapy that helps them build trust, regulation, and confidence alongside a licensed clinician and therapy horse.

Ensures every therapy animal receives high quality care, safe facilities, and ongoing training so they can continue to serve kids for years to come as trusted partners in healing.

Improves year-round access across the Hands of Promise Campus by burying the irrigation canal to create safe pathways to animal care areas, provides shade structures in residential common areas, and restores native, sustainable, and cost-saving campus landscaping.

Builds a permanent endowment that helps sustain Idaho Youth Ranch programs in the future, so today’s gifts continue to provide healing, hope, and resilience for the next generation.
