For over seven decades, the Idaho Youth Ranch has been a place of hope for countless young individuals. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Reverend James Crowe and his beloved wife, Ruby Carey Crowe. Their selflessness and compassion blazed a trail that continues to touch lives, generation after generation.

From its humble beginnings in Rupert, Idaho, the Idaho Youth Ranch has continued to expand into a guiding light for youth across the state. Now, with the unveiling of its Residential Center for Healing and Resilience Campus, the Idaho Youth Ranch enters a new chapter of its mission. As Idaho’s first and only psychiatric long-term facility for youth aged 11-17— children, along with their families, who have experienced trauma, adversity, and loss can begin the healing journey within an environment carefully designed for a therapeutic experience.

A community of dedicated individuals connected by a purpose: to nurture healing and foster resilience in every young heart that walks through its doors. The Residential Center for Healing and Resilience is more than a sanctuary; it’s a home.
