Working Ranches
Working Ranches have become a popular choice for troubled teens. Working with animals is a proven and time tested therapeutic technique in teaching friendship and trust. Many teens today do not understand the merits or benefits of hard work. While living on the Ranch, teens help to work the ranch while continuing or catching up on academics. Most Working Ranches fall into the same category as Boarding Schools in terms of their focus and specialties. No two Working Ranches are the same and offer a very wide variety of programs. Researching all of these pieces can be extremely time consuming and at times a bit frustrating. SOS can help you navigate through the hundreds of Working Ranch programs nationwide to find the best program for your teen.
The typical candidates for these types of programs are:
- Suffering from Low Self Esteem
- Selfish and/or Defiant
- Failing in school
- Suffering from mild substance abuse
- Unmotivated or Depressed
If your teen meets any of the above criteria they may be a candidate for a Working Ranch Program. Let SOS help you determine if this is the best program and help you find the right school for your teen’s individual needs. Our services are FREE and completely confidential.
