OUTCOMES

What benefits does our program seek to achieve?

Sunny Crest Youth Ranch will provide “a safe place for kids” that are abused and neglected, and have come to the attention of the court and need a structured environment. While this alone is a worthy goal, there are additional substantive goals and outcomes that we seek and can reasonably expect to achieve with our programs and activities.

Some of these include:

• Reduce recidivism and cost to the community

• Break the cycle and provide a model for a safe productive family

• Progress and achievement in reading and mathematics

• Development of self-reliance, motivation and personal values

• Increase in positive goal-directed behavior

• Pro-social communication skills

• Discovery and development of personal interests and aptitudes

• Increased skills in problem-solving and communication

• Development of independent living skills

• Growth of virtues and personal integrity

• Common Sense Parenting classes offered to the community

• Parent education training, mentoring and after care

• The Ranch will include the community in the solution

• Dedicated to building green
