We wanted to provide an environment where today’s youth will develop the skills to properly evaluate the choices at their life’s crossroads, the knowledge to understand how those choices will impact their life, and the wisdom to choose the right path. Our youth are faced with crossroads in every area of their life and that is why the Ranch programs are designed with a holistic approach in mind. We
use the equine culture to teach today’s youth responsibility and core values in all areas of their life. Specifically, we empower our youth to make the right choices as it relates to their body, their mind and emotions and their spirit. CRYR is a faith based organization, founded on the same Judeo-Christian values that our nation was built upon. The Board of Directors believe in God and the saving grace of His Son Jesus Christ. It is our greatest desire to serve God by the demonstration of our faith through action, by our love for Him and the support of families. It is an Honor to serve children and families of all backgrounds. CRYR serves our community in providing a place for youth to have a safe and healthy environment. Although our primary focus is to serve disadvantaged children, we open the time and space for any children who wish to come. Roughly 80% of our kids are considered disadvantaged. To CRYR, the word “disadvantaged” takes on many shapes and forms; mental, physical, emotional and functional. With that being said, in every child’s life there comes a time when choices have to made. Choices that will affect their future. Choices that will make them or break them. Here at Cross Roads Youth Ranch, we are compassionate about pointing each one who will cross our path to the One Whose path led to the cross. Each life is valuable and matters to the Creator – No matter the age, color or religion.
