Read about the four critical "life tools" at the Goshen Valley Boys Ranch.
Many children come to the Ranch from a background of deprivation, abuse, loss and neglect. Our goal is to provide a stable, safe and loving environment that allows new attachments to form. As the boys learn to trust, healing and a positive self-concept emerge. We accomplish this through our family model. A loving, married and highly-screened houseparent couple cares for six boys per home. All boys attend public school, unless a need arises for home schooling.
The Ranch has identified four critical “life tools” that facilitate healing and help the boys to redirect their lives: Family, Faith, Education and Work. Ranch families honor Christian values and beliefs through education and example. Goshen Valley recognizes that education and a positive work ethic are critical to success.
“Goshen Valley is a place where lives are touched and character is built. Not only do the boys that come to live here have an opportunity to change the direction of thier lives, but those of us who have the privilege of ministering to them are drastically changed as well. Everyone that steps on this ranch can sense the very presence of a Living God and in some way leave very differently than when they arrived."
