Staff Spotlight: Angela Been

For 19 years, Angela Been has been a steady and faithful presence at Big Springs Ranch for Children. Through countless changes, challenges, and successes, Angela has remained committed to our mission of helping children build strong foundations for life.

Over the years, she has served in multiple roles across our organization, always stepping up wherever she was needed most. Her willingness to help, positive attitude, and dedication to our youth make her the definition of a team player. Today, Angela serves as one of our Case Managers.

As Campus Director Douglas Adair shares:

“Angela always goes above and beyond, and I truly can’t imagine Big Springs Ranch without her. Over the years, she has been one of the most dedicated employees I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She believes in our mission, cares deeply about our children, and approaches every day with a servant’s heart.

Angela is kind, dependable, and always willing to step in wherever she’s needed. The impact she has made on this ranch and on the lives of the youth we serve is impossible to measure.

And perhaps most importantly… she always answers my calls, even when she probably doesn’t want to! For that, and for everything else she does, I am incredibly grateful. Big Springs Ranch is a better place because of Angela Been.”

Thank you, Angela, for your unwavering dedication, your servant’s heart, and for being such an important part of the Big Springs Ranch family. We are grateful for all you do and proud to celebrate your incredible legacy of service.

💙💚 19 Years of Dedication. 19 Years of Impact. 19 Years of Changing Lives.

💙 SUCCESS STORY – Darlynn 💙
Today we’re celebrating an incredible young lady and the journey she has taken.

Darlynn came to Big Springs Ranch for Children over 2½ years ago, and during that time we have watched her grow, persevere, and work hard toward her goals. Through the ups and downs, she continued moving forward and making the most of every opportunity.

Darlynn recently graduated from Big Springs Charter School, a huge accomplishment that reflects her dedication and determination. During her time here, she was also actively involved in volleyball, basketball, and track, showing commitment both in the classroom and through athletics.

As she begins this next chapter, Darlynn has now enlisted in the United States Army — an exciting step toward her future and a reflection of the strength and character she has built.

We are incredibly proud of the young woman she has become and honored to have been part of her journey.

Congratulations, Darlynn — your Big Springs family will always be cheering you on! 🇺🇸🎓
