The West Texas Boys Ranch is a non-profit organization offering guidance, structure and opportunities through a family-based program and Christian environment so young men may realize their greatest potential. Since its inception more than 75 years ago, West Texas Boys Ranch has served thousands of boys from Texas and beyond.
At the ranch a boy is measured by his potential rather than his past. It’s here in a family setting and ranch environment where boys rediscover their self-respect and become useful, proud and productive citizens. The West Texas Boys Ranch is a place where boys learn the value of work, grow spiritually and achieve academic success through the example of a caring staff.
We utilize a family-based model of care where boys live in cottages with up to eight boys and a married couple who serve as parental role models. Each boy has his own room and enjoys the camaraderie of other boys in the cottage. In this environment, boys learn responsibility and help with cottage chores. Positive behavior is reinforced.
The ranch offers an enjoyable, yet structured living experience for boys. A well-balanced, study-work-play program develops a sense of responsibility and dependability. The boys attend public schools and participate in the ranch education program, designed to enhance academic success.
Many of the boys play on school or community athletic teams, participate in 4-H shows and learn farming and ranching techniques. On the ranch property itself, a number of recreational facilities are available- a pool, tennis courts, gymnasium, horse arena, fishing in the creek and 963 acres of wide open space.
