    Idaho Youth Ranch Mission

    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 with programs throughout the state, which 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. Working at Idaho Youth Ranch is more than a job. It's a career that changes lives. 

    Our Values

    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.

    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's why we need YOU!

    If you light up at the idea of changing a kid's life or being the reason they believe grown-ups can be good, we are ready to welcome you to our family of nurturers, mentors, and advocates at a facility that will define trauma care in Idaho for generations to come.
