Our 50th Anniversary Open House has come and gone. We would like to thank everyone who attended the event and made it a great success. We would also like to thank our donor family, supporters and friends who have helped us for the last 50 years. We hope to continue our services to needy children and families for the next fifty. How It All Began!
Founded in 1957 by the Florida Sheriffs Association, the Youth Ranches is a non-profit, residential child-care and family service organization primarily dependent on the generous gifts and support of our donor family. It is a nationally recognized, accredited agency with sites throughout the state of Florida. Our staff includes social workers, counselors, therapists and cottage parents who serve over thousands of youth and their families each year. Programs include Residential Group Child Care, Family Services, and Camping Services aimed at meeting the diverse needs of Florida’s youth and families.
If you need assistance pertaining to our programs and services and you are Florida Resident, please contact the appropriate family social worker listed for your county. You can also obtain the contact information for each program site, as well as a map to each campus.
