Sky Ranch Foundation Continues to Aid Troubled Youths

05/07/2015

by: The Staff

In the past four years, the Sky Ranch Foundation and Sky Ranch for Boys have awarded the Sioux City Iowa-based Sky Ranch Behavioral Services $181,250 in grants.

An independent treatment facility, the organization served as the aftercare center for youth matriculating from Sky Ranch prior to the Ranch being sold in 2011. It has been providing counseling for 32 years to young men and women and their families prior to placement, in an effort to eliminate the need for out-of-home placement.

Further, they reintegrate juveniles returning home from placement, keeping the family intact and ensuring against further involvement in the out-of-home placement system, according to a press release.

Sky Ranch Foundation is actively seeking other organizations worthy of receiving grants.

If you know of any organization which fits the following criteria, please direct them to send an LOI to George Suttles at George.suttles@ustrust.com:

  1. Focus on troubled youth, ages 11-18
  2. Offer services which prevent youth involvement in the criminal justice system
