Winter Corral 2024: New Year, New Tools

With any new year, we all get the opportunity for a new beginning and a new opportunity to make the changes that we would like to see in ourselves. As we are entering this new year, all of us who work at The Ranches are looking for more effective skills that we can use to grow and improve in order to offer better opportunities to the youth that we serve.

In many ways, the reminder of a new beginning serves as a reminder of the opportunity that our kids get when they enter our program. In their lives, they have been faced with a variety of challenges and have adapted to those challenges by developing a broad range of skills that served them in those situations. By the time they reach us, both the challenges and their responses to them have also formed both their view of the world and how they are viewed by the world. They come to us having been labeled as difficult, combative, dishonest, and several other adjectives that describe their survival skills rather than who they are. . .
