Valley Springs Youth Ranch is a residential care facility whose emphasis is on caring. The main ranch campus is surrounded by the beautiful wooded hills of the Mark Twain National Forest, and the cool crisp water of the Black River.
The purpose of the program is to "Make a Difference" by providing both short and long term placement for male juveniles in need of an intensive "strength-based" treatment approach. Valley Springs incorporates a balance of both nurture and structure into the treatment environment.
