Admissions/Qualifications

Admission to the Ranch is granted to school age boys who have not been adjudicated delinquent and are mentally and emotionally sound.

Rodeheaver is not a detention facility or treatment center. We are a home for troubled and dependent children.

Boys are placed by parents, guardians, and/or youth counselors from all over the state and nation. This is a long-term placement, at least one year. For some boys, the Ranch becomes their home until adulthood. Many graduate from the local high school. Some boys go on to college or trade school. Some enlist in the armed forces. Others take jobs with local businesses.

Contact the Director of Ranch Life with admissions questions.
