Why work at Idaho Youth Ranch?

You belong here

You are inspired by the ripple effect of helping struggling youth. When you help shape a young person's life, you also shape their future relationships.

You believe that mental health care should be available to everyone, regardless of background or income.

You want to have a real impact on kids' lives with one-on-one care in a trauma-informed environment.

Idaho's kids need you

There is a mental health crisis in Idaho, and there are few resources for young people and their families. When it comes to the most vulnerable—those in need of residential care—many are sent out of state, compounding their trauma and reducing their chances for success.

That why we need you.

If you are excited at the idea of changing a kid's life, we are ready to welcome you to our facility, which will define trauma care in Idaho for generations to come.

Our Mission & Values

We unite for Idaho's youth by providing accessible programs and services that nurture hope, healing, and resilience. 

Since 1953, Idaho Youth Ranch has provided life-changing programs for kids and families throughout the state. These programs include outpatient services, a crisis shelter, adoptions, career readiness, and alumni support. Our team members are the heart and soul of our mission, and our leadership is committed to a compassionate, inclusive culture. 

Since the day Reverend James Crowe and his wife, Ruby Carey Crowe, started a boys’ ranch in the desert outside Rupert in the 1950s, Idaho Youth Ranch has grown into a statewide multi-service agency serving boys, girls, and their families.

These values drive us to continue our founder's vision and create a promising future for Idaho youth and families.
