"I'm quite sad that I have to leave. The Ranch feels like my second home. I have bittersweet memories of this place. If I were to tell a new kid what to look for, it would be a lot of things. Give the houseparents an easy time. Don't make things stressful. Just have fun and make memories. I'm grateful that there's a place like this and people who give up their time and other future goals to help a new generation of kids." andrew, 16 the peace home Congratulations to our Spring Graduates congratulations to our graduates Eagle Ranch's Spring 2016 graduates include Andrew, Eli, Griffin and Bailey (not pictured). Graduating from Eagle Ranch is more than an individual achievement. Based upon goals set for the entire family, graduation represents an overall commitment to change and moving forward in a way that will impact generations to come. Eagle Ranch supports its graduates through a counseling and continuing education program known as Aftercare. This program provides families with counseling sessions and opportunities to participate in seminars on a variety of topics as well as team building exercises and gatherings to offer community support. "It was hard for my family before we came to the Ranch. We would fight all the time. Nobody would get along. Since I've been here, I've learned how to respect my dad and my siblings. When I first started respecting my dad, he would continue to argue and talk back to me, because he didn't believe I had really changed. But after a couple of months of showing him respect, he started showing me respect too. My family members know that I'm trying to change, so it's about continuing to build trust with them. I've gotten a lot of help from my houseparents, counselors and teachers. They were always there when I needed them." Bailey, 14 the peace home
