Introduction - Executive Director's Message
Thank you for visiting the website for Square One Ranch.
Although you will find this site currently under construction, we are expanding it frequently. Please take a moment and allow us to introduce ourselves to you.
Square One Ranch is primarily a “Faith-Based,” behavioral treatment, ranch program incorporated as a private ‘Not-for-Profit’ organization, and is not directly affiliated with or supported by any specific denomination or other organized group ... simply supported by those who care and understand how crucial this ministry is in our society.
Square One Ranch is a logical and promising, life-changing alternative to mainstream counseling and court induced punishments and deterrents. Our goal is to operate two separate, distinct ranch programs. One is our VOP Ranch (Violent Offenders Program), which is designed as a direct alternative to Juvenile prison or detention for young teenage boys (10-14 years old upon admission) who have committed (level 3) violent crimes.
The other is the LOP Ranch (Lesser-Offenders Program) for boys (12 – 15 years old upon admission) who are repeat “status offenders,” are considered incorrigible, or who have a history of “level 1” and “level 2” crimes. All boys are private placement. While providing constructive, affirmative role modeling on a working cattle ranch, our Life-Coaches teach and nurture young boys to become virtuous, positive, competent and dynamic young adults. Our high impact, intensive programs reinforce these values by providing encouraging productive counseling, strong vocational and educational curriculums, and Biblical, spiritual leadership.
This is where you and Square One Ranch join together. Square One Ranch is the first step in starting over. These young men may not have a chance without our instruction and support, and we may not have a chance without your support. We ask that you earnestly consider investing in our program personally, prayerfully and/or financially. If you have any questions regarding how to go about supporting us, or about anything else, you are encouraged to contact us by email or by phone. Please check back with us regularly as we expand this site. Thank you again for your interest.
Sincerely,
