Idaho Youth Ranch

The Idaho Youth Ranch is a non-profit, multi-service charity in Idaho, U.S.A. which describes itself as “providing troubled youth and families a bridge to a productive, responsible future” (excerpted from the IYR Mission Statement).

It offers programs including adoptions, alternative education, foster care recruitment and training, vocational training, family counseling, case management, aftercare, independent living services (residential and case management), crisis shelter, community-based group homes (one specializing in independent living, and one specializing in substance abuse treatment) and a 56-bed residential facility (550 acres, site of the original “Ranch”). IYR also owns and operates several thrift stores throughout Idaho that serve as a source of revenue as well as an additional resource for families and an employment opportunity for youth in IYR's programs.
