Valley Teen Ranch

Our vision and mission drive Valley Teen Ranch to make a profound impact on the lives of youth impacted by homelessness. The Welcome Home campaign is focused on the unhoused youth in our community, ages 18-24. Through our Transitional Living Home, Rapid Rehousing, and the Welcome Home Campus, VTR will increase services to over 125 youth. These programs provide housing for youth experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, including foster youth, former foster youth, youth who have gone through the foster care system, single families and individuals. We provide services that “Build a Foundation for Life.” The VTR Foster Family Agency (FFA), Adoption Agency, Residential Therapeutic Program (STRTP) at the Ranch, and the Transitional Living Home, each provide HOPE to children, youth, and families through life-changing relationships and experiences. Young adult men living in our transitional living home, at-risk teenage youth at our Residential Treatment homes on the ranch, or abused or neglected children in the foster care system placed in loving homes, are given every opportunity to build a foundation for life through VTR’s supportive services and personalized care. We have services that reach throughout the state of California. Our Foster Family Agency and Residential Therapeutic Program serves over seven counties in California. Children and youth placed with us are dependents of Social Services or youth with behavioral challenges placed by Juvenile court order. Through VTR’s highly trained staff and mental health professionals, supportive services and therapeutic care, trauma-informed practices, intervention, advocacy, and personalized care are provided to children, male youth, and families. We make a positive difference in people’s lives. We have earned trust and respect throughout our 33-year history for one simple reason—we have a wonderful staff. They are experts in their fields and many of them have been with us for over 20 years! Mental health Counselors, social workers, administrative professionals, and highly trained staff work hard to help each life they touch, thrive and succeed. We have foundational pillars that support our programs and upholds our values. We are an organization deeply rooted in a faith foundation that guides our work with our clients, community, and with each other. Our goals are to provide hope, commitment to service, healthy relationships, integrity, and excellence in our actions and interactions. We do not affiliate with a specific denomination or religious organization. We do not proselytize, but provide opportunities for prayer, and religious services. We believe prayer transforms lives.
