We are a licensed Boys Ranch that has been helping wounded youth since 1991. Specializing in helping boys 12-17 years old. Typically the boys that come to Mt Carmel are behind in their schoolwork. They are struggling due to poor study habits and lack of self-discipline. Once they are behind in school, social problems frequently develop, poor friendships, behavioral problems and drug experimentation.
Friction develops at school and at home.
A vicious cycle is established as the boy's self image plunges. The problem becomes bigger and bigger until a critical point is reached. This is when MT Carmel Youth Ranch can offer a helping hand. These chores are all necessary to ranch functioning, not just doing busy work. This whole process builds self-esteem and the boy sees the importance of furthering his education.
