Our on-campus experiential ropes course, Challenges, is available to outside organizations for team building or other activities to meet the specific needs of the group. Clients include youth groups, service organizations, businesses, schools and universities.

Yellowstone’s equestrian center is comprised of a 41,000 square foot covered riding arena, complete with seating capacity for 300 people, sound system, restrooms, concession stand area, ample parking and an outside warm up arena. It is also available to the community to rent for a variety of events, including horse shows, barrel racing, roping and cutting events, seminars and dog shows.

Sponsor a Program
We are grateful to our many friends who support the equestrian programs at Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch. Corporate sponsors generously provided funds that underwrite the cost of the facility and help with providing equipment to the youth in the horsemanship classes and youth in the equine assisted psychotherapy program.
When a child is hungry, it is difficult for them to learn. The Community Based Services staff provide an average of 200 meals and snacks per week to their clients in Yellowstone County. By providing meals/food to these children, they are able to focus and achieve higher outcomes.
Yellowstone Boys & Girls Ranch always appreciates your general support. We use these funds to provide qualified people to work directly with at-risk children and families. Because of your generous gifts, we are able to have a powerful impact with focused training and tools that help children and their families heal.
By Making a Donation today, you can help support these programs and others at YBGR. Or email us with any questions you might have about how to Sponsor a Specific Program within our Community Based Services or Residential Programs.
