I learned about Turn About Ranch yesterday. This working ranch sounds like a great place for teens to spend some time relearning some tools that will help them deal with problems and family issues in positive ways. I read through the website and really like lots of what I read. Here are a few of my favorites:
1. kids must earn all privileges, including pillows and showers all the way to leisure time and activities!
2. they also attend classes which will later transfer back to their home school
3. the ranch uses Christian ideals as a foundation
4. the ranch employs older adults as mentors as opposed to college aged kids
5. their program runs an average of 100 days
6. there are loans available for families who need them
7. employ professional and lay staff
8. provide studies and reports to show progress
9. program effective for many teens
10. they want to help troubled teens
