Job Description

Overview Every child is born full of promise, and every child deserves a promising future. The Idaho Youth Ranch has been helping good kids on a dangerous path find promising futures for more than 60 years, with youth programs and services through the state. We offer emergency shelter, residential care, substance abuse treatment, job readiness training, alternative education, adoption services, family counseling, and more for at‑risk kids and their struggling parents and families. No matter what a child is up against, the Idaho Youth Ranch can help. Every kid who comes to us faces their own unique challenges and issues. So we adapt our services to meet their needs, instead of the other way around. The Idaho Youth Ranch approach is to intervene early, when our help can do the most good; treat the whole child, not just one symptom; and finish the job by sticking with each kid as long as they need us. Our work would not be possible without generous donations from people like you. Thanks to our donors and our statewide network of 29 thrift stores, we can help kids and families effectively and immediately even if they can’t afford the entire cost of care. Whenever you make a cash donation, shop at one of our stores, or donate items we can sell, you become part of our promise to Idaho’s kids. Thank you!

As a volunteer, you will enjoy a service opportunity where relationships are the foundation, where we are all committed to the same mission, where growth is always possible, where we are all treated with and show compassion, where trust guides us to transparency and above all, where joy sustains us. What We Offer Back Every volunteer plays a crucial role in advancing our mission. You can proudly share with friends and family that each hour you dedicate with us helps provide vital services to Idaho’s youth in need. Additionally, you'll enjoy a discount in our thrift stores and work in a supportive, compassionate environment where we truly are better together.
