The staff at Arivaca Boys Ranch have become like part of our family because of the love they showed us at our time of deepest need. They came alongside us as parents and did what we were not able to do for our son at that time. We built such close relationships with them during his time there, and we keep in touch often. Thank you all for what you do. You are truly doing the Lord’s work.

Arivaca Boys Ranch is great! They are on a huge ranch. The boys learn so much including valuable life skills and a high school education. They have a very effective and unique equine therapy. I know this program is very effective with helping teen boys develop character and helps them understand how their behavior effects everything around them. If your son is struggling with behavior and your home is in chaos because of it, Arivaca can really help turn things around for you too.

We just took our son to Arivaca Boys Ranch a few weeks ago. Though we miss him greatly, and there are some feelings of guilt about what we could have done differently through the years, we are confident that he is in the right place. We finally feel hope that God will restore our family. We will be praying every day for our son and for the wonderful staff at Arivaca Boys Ranch who get to love on him this year.

God sent us to Arivaca Boys Ranch when we had nowhere else to turn. Everything we tried with our son had failed, and we were at the end of our rope. Everyone at Arivaca Boys Ranch truly cares for teens, and it shows in everything they do.

We knew when we sent our son to Arivaca Boys Ranch that he was in good hands. What we didn’t realize at first was how well Arivaca would support us too. They gave us people to talk to, both counselors and parents of former students. That helped immensely with adjusting to the year apart. They taught us so much, I think we are better parents now

My parents knew what they were doing when they signed me up at the Arivaca Boys Ranch. The new start was exactly what I needed. Living with the other guys there showed me a lot about myself, things that I’m sure my parents knew but I would never have listened to them. It was a safe place to be real with myself and real with others
