The Executive Director will report to the CEO and serve as the founding leader of the RCH&R, providing a once-in-a-career opportunity to lead, together with their senior leadership team, the development and execution of all aspects of services and operations including program design, staff hiring and training, organizational culture, and advancing leading practices in behavioral health care. About Idaho Youth Ranch Headquartered in the Treasure Valley of Idaho, Idaho Youth Ranch has been helping youth and families since 1953. We provide extensive outpatient counseling services in multiple parts of the state, equine therapy, adoption services, a short-term crisis shelter for youth, workforce development and other programs, and operate 24 thrift stores that help fund our work with youth and families. Already one of Idaho’s largest not for profits with operations statewide, a $27 million budget, and 385 Full-Time and 40 Part-time staff, Idaho Youth Ranch is on the cusp of significant expansion with plans to open the RCH&R by January 2023. We are hiring the Executive Director now to lead program design and culture work, coordinate planning with the Educational Leader (to be hired) and actively participate in the recruiting, hiring, and onboarding of the RCH&R leadership and management team. Why Idaho Needs the Residential Center for Healing and Resilience Youth in Idaho have some of the highest rates of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Idaho ranks high for youth suicide. Unfortunately, there are very few services to meet the needs of Idaho youth and families, and most of Idaho’s youth who need residential treatment, including all of those on Medicaid, are sent to facilities in other states. The state has rallied around our $27.7M capital campaign to “Bring Idaho’s Kids Home,” fully funding the construction and startup of the Residential Center for Healing and Resilience. This 64-bed facility will make a significant step toward meeting the behavioral health needs of these youth in a local campus where families can be involved in therapy and effective after-care can be in place. A consistent, positive, trauma-informed culture is critical to the success of youth in this program. We selected the metaphor of a “Journey” to represent the experiences of the youth and their family before entering our care, their path during their stay in this program, and the course their lives will take after leaving the program. The Journey has been a foundation for the design and construction of the RCH&R, the planned treatment and programming, and our communications about the program. In addition to the responsibilities detailed below, the Executive Director is responsible for ensuring the Journey metaphor is effectively embedded in every aspect of the daily experiences of youth and staff.
