Our Program
Whispering Angels Youth Ranch provides a safe, nurturing place where children can experience Hope, Healing, Love, and Acceptance through meaningful relationships, time with horses, and Christ-centered mentorship.
Our program serves children ages 8–18 who are facing difficult circumstances in their lives. While we are not a clinical or medical therapy program, we offer a peaceful place where children can feel seen, supported, encouraged, and reminded of their God-given worth.
Each child attends the ranch for one hour each week and is paired with a dedicated, same-gender mentor who walks alongside them throughout the season. Together, they spend intentional time building trust, confidence, and connection through activities with the horses and around the ranch.
Sessions are offered on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 4:00–6:00 PM.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, participation in our program is completely free for every child and family we serve.
HORSE TIME
One horse, one child and one mentor facilitated by the mentor in a farm environment. We place an emphasis on groundwork, communication, and the relationship between horse and child. This allows children to grow in trust, confidence, emotional awareness, and leadership in ways riding alone can not. These skills foster deeper connections between child and horse.
DEVO TIME
Every session begins with a simple five-minute devotional and prayer, grounding our time together in God's word. Before heading into the barn, we pause to seek Him first, commit the hour and each child into His hands, and remember that everything we do here is ultimately for His glory.
CHORE TIME
Every child and mentor complete a small chore during session time.
Chores teach the importance of serving others as well as being good stewards of what God has given us.
Often times, this opportunity empowers children in knowing that their efforts can make a difference to those around them.
ART STUDIO
This is a creative space where healing, expression, and hope come together. Through hands-on art experiences, children are encouraged to explore their creativity, process emotions, and discover their God given gifts in a safe and supportive environment. Whether painting, drawing, or working with mixed media, the studio provides opportunities for self expression, confidence building, and moments of peace. The Art Studio is more than a place to make art, it is a place where stories are told, hearts are restored, and growth is nurtured.
ONE-ON-ONE TIME
Child and mentor pairs may also choose to spend some of their time on the swings, benches or in the grass chatting about life. Although our mentor volunteers are not certified counselors, they are prepared to talk about anything that the child would like to open up about. One-on-one time can be an important part of the child's time at the Ranch because many of the children we serve come from backgrounds of broken hearts and broken trust.
