Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch is a private, not-for-profit, comprehensive services agency providing treatment and support for children, youth and their families.

Treatment Model
YBGR's programs focus on families while blending clinical and academic excellence. Judeo Christian principles are incorporated into treatment.

Residential Services
Yellowstone has helped more than 4,500 youth and their families since 1957 in the residential treatment component of their services. YBGR's focus is on rebuilding healthy relationships while teaching productive life skills to the youth and their families. Our desire is to encourage each youth with hope, courage, and confidence. Ten lodges and two community homes serve young people from Montana and across the country. Yellowstone Academy, located on-site, is an accredited K-8 public school district and an accredited private high school staffed by Regular and Special education teachers with endorsement, administrators, teaching assistants, and support personnel.

Medical Services
The Clinic at YBGR is a multi-disciplinary setting where professional staff provide medical and psychiatric care. Assessments are completed for each youth and serve as the foundation for the individualized treatment plan.

Judeo-Christian principles provide the foundation of Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch. With the goal of assisting interested youth in developing a relationship with God, the pastoral care staff work closely with parents/guardians to understand the spiritual values of the family.
