West Texas Boys Ranch

Reflecting its ranching heritage and commitment to Christian values, West Texas Boys Ranch provides loving, caring families and homes for boys in need, ages 10 to 17, so they can become healthy, happy, self-sufficient citizens.

As a Christian "home community," West Texas Boys Ranch serves as a trusted friend to parents who desperately need help in raising their sons, a safe home for boys to grow and learn, and a valuable resource in building better communities. Boys ages 10 - 17 come from all parts of Texas to live on a real West Texas ranch that provides a safe and caring environment in which to live. West Texas Boys Ranch is home to boys from across all parts of the State of Texas. Our ranching community consists of five homes, a chapel, a gymnasium, a pool, and a learning center all situated on 965 acres of land that is uniquely West Texas. Our boys attend public schools, are members of various local churches, and participate in numerous athletic, educational, and vocational activities that the greater San Angelo area has to offer. West Texas Boys Ranch has served six generations of young men - the oldest of whom are now grandfathers! As we fulfill our mission of "Raising Boys - Building Men" we are teaching young boys that being "successful" in life begins at home.

Testimonials

The year was 1989 and it was a bad time in 12-year-old Forrest Breeden's life. His parents had recently divorced, and he and his twin brother often fought with each other and got into trouble. Forrest's mother thought West Texas Boys Ranch could help him and give her time to adjust to the divorce and continue her college education. "I am what I am today because of the Boys Ranch," Forrest says. "They taught me how to set goals in life. They helped my entire family cope with a difficult time. They helped me further my education. They will always be in my heart and in my family's heart." - Forest Breeden
