Why IYR?
Why is Idaho Youth Ranch the right organization to build this center?
"Idaho Youth Ranch has served this state for more than six decades. Rates of childhood trauma have increased since then. We have the privilege of growing our new ranch to meet today’s challenges. The physical environment and state-of-the-art care will allow us to heal our youth, give hope to their families, and show the resilience that is so much a part of Idahoans."
Scott Curtis, CEO, Idaho Youth Ranch
