We are excited to see what wonderful things God has planned for the ranch in 2026!
See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. {Isaiah 43:19}
2nd Chance Youth Ranch Spring 2026 Update!
Hello everyone -
Spring has arrived all around us & with each Spring season, brings new life!
God makes all things new & we are aligning with His leadership in this season.
So much has been happening "behind the scenes" here at the ranch & we would like to share some of those updates with you.
* New Program Updates:
One of the focuses for our team this upcoming season is carefully & strategically adding to our equine herd.
This takes dedicated time to seek out the right fit for our herd & programs, as well as time for us to get any new horses settled in & adjusted within the herd. It is a careful & time-consuming process.
Along with new horses, we are looking forward to new & exciting things this season at the ranch.
We are gathering together in prayer over every detail.
** VBS will be back this Summer of 2026 - along with new mentorship programs/camps that will be offered throughout the season. **
Registration will be opening soon!
Please continue this journey in shouldering alongside of us in prayer.
We are still here working at the ranch & behind the scenes, excited & encouraged through God's amazing leadership.
Stay tuned for when we release programming!
Blessings!
2nd Chance Youth Ranch Leadership Team

Each year there is a greater demand to provide opportunities for youth and their families to come to 2CYR for healing and restoration. We are in need of high-quality, adult mentors to help bridge the gap for us and use their God given gifts to reach the next generation.
God is always faithful to bring the right people at the right time, and we are trusting Him to bring the right adult mentors who carry a heart that is passionate for Jesus, youth, and desire to make a difference in their lives. We are asking for a 1-year commitment of one day-2 hours per week. We would walk alongside of you for three months of hands-on-training to ensure you are equipped and feel secure in the knowledge needed regarding the ranch and the animals.
Pray about it.
If you believe God is tugging on your heart, please take a moment to complete our Volunteer Application and send it to us via email or mail! Upon reviewal of your application, we will be in contact as soon as possible to schedule an interview and tour at the ranch. God bless you!
