Do you feel called to help children? 💚

We’re looking for two special people to help us bring our new Fostering Hope Home to life! 🏡 This unique opportunity is about more than a job. It’s about providing a safe, supportive, family-like home where children can heal, grow, and find hope for a brighter future.

In her latest blog post, Executive Director Christy Vastenhout shares the heart behind this new program and why we’re looking for the right couple to join the McCrossan family.

Could this be your calling, or someone you know? ✨

This week, we welcomed Southeast Tech Vet Tech students to the Ranch for some hands-on experience with our animals! There’s nothing quite like trading the classroom for the barn and getting to learn by doing.

We love seeing these future vet techs put their skills to work and get some real-world experience along the way! 🐴💚

🌟 Another Fun Fact Friday! 🌟

Did you know? At McCrossan Boys Ranch, 100% of our boys receive therapy, counseling, or equine therapy. 💚

Every young man who comes through our doors has his own story, his own challenges, and his own strengths. That’s why we believe support shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all.

Whether it’s sitting down with a counselor, working through challenges in therapy, or finding connection and healing through our Equine Program, we meet each boy where he is and support him in the ways that are right for him.

Our goal is to help each young man better understand himself, build healthy tools for navigating life, and discover that he doesn’t have to face his challenges alone.

Because New Hope for a Better Life means caring for the whole person—and walking alongside our boys every step of the way. 💚

We told Gordy there was a mouse. 🐭

We may have left out one very important detail… 😂

Sometimes you just have to take a break from the hard work and have a little fun at the Ranch! 💚
