Goshen Valley Boys Ranch
Too many young men in foster care end up in places that feel more like a prison than a family. Goshen Valley Boys Ranch exists to provide young men in foster care with the safety of a home, the love of a family, and the hope of a future.

Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, located on 160 acres in northern Cherokee County, is home to 40+ young men in foster care ages 12-18. All boys participate in therapeutic counseling, public school education, and our comprehensive recreation program, all while living in a unique, family-based home.
