A Message from the President
The Mission of the The Ranches is, "Rekindling hope in today's youth." When considered along with our purpose statement, "To provide services for young people and families for a brighter tomorrow," a truth emerges, the power of hope to transform lives. Our Mission statement not only defines what we do, but the difference we want to make. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Everything that is done in the world is done by hope." As a Christian organization, we know the importance of good values including hope. However, such valuesare useless unless they also become important to the individual young people who utilize our programs. Hope includes many facets; a new life, a relationship with God, finishing school or a job with a future. When a young person believes such things are possible, hope transforms.
