The “Welcome Home” Campaign

Unlocking Brighter Futures for Homeless Youth

Our vision and mission drive Valley Teen Ranch to make a profound impact on the lives of homeless youth. This year our campaign is for the homeless youth we serve, ages 18-24. Through our Transitional Living Home, Rapid Rehousing, and an additional program we are adding this year, VTR will increase services to over 100 youth.

These programs house youth experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness including foster youth, former foster youth, and youth that have gone through the foster care system and are at risk of homelessness and single families.

We dream of a world where every young person, regardless of their circumstances, has a safe place to call home, the chance to realize their full potential, and a hopeful future. Our mission, our HOPE is unwavering—to provide homeless youth with shelter, support, and a pathway to a brighter future. We work tirelessly to create a nurturing environment that offers not only a safe roof over their heads but also opportunities for education, counseling, experiences, and a sense of belonging.

Our vision is a society in which homelessness among youth is eradicated. We envision a community where these young souls are not merely surviving but thriving, where they are empowered to break the cycle of homelessness and become confident, self-reliant individuals.

Why Your Support Matters: Every dollar you contribute directly impacts the lives of homeless youth, providing them with essentials like food, shelter, and clothing. Your support funds programs that equip these young individuals with the skills they need to find stable employment and regain their independence. It helps us provide emotional and mental health support, giving them the tools to heal and build a better future.

Your generosity is the key to realizing our dream, transforming their lives from despair to hope. Please consider giving to the Welcome Home Campaign. Your support can bring us one step closer to realizing our dream, achieving our vision, and fulfilling our mission. Help us create a brighter future for our homeless youth.

Thank you for being part of our journey and for helping us change lives. Your support means the world to us and, more importantly, to the young souls we serve.
