Rekindling Hope in Today’s Youth – Since 1944

Established as New Mexico Boys Ranch, Inc. in 1944, our organization has evolved into five divisions that promote opportunity and meaningful help for struggling children and their families. Our multi-denominational Christian programs offer kids a safe place to live, a personalized plan to address their needs and goals, and individualized education and counseling. We offer families help through services such as crisis management, family counseling and parent skills training.

THE RANCHES CHANGES LIVES.

The Ranches has helped thousands of kids and teens develop essential skills, “make lasting connections and giving them a second chance toward a better future.  

  • A safe place to learn, grow and develop
  • Supportive relationships with caring mentors 
  • Enriching programs, experiences and activities
