About Us
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit comprised of a group of community volunteers working under the umbrella of HRDC to coordinate the efforts and contributions of hundreds of others. We provide the project management and conduct the fundraising necessary to bring this important mental health component to life in our community.
In addition to HRDC, we are working collaboratively with Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch (YBGR) who will operate the ranch and bring a continuum of care that will meet kids where they are. YBGR brings 70 years of experience in youth mental and behavioral health services in Montana.
Operated by the Yellowstone Girls & Boys Ranch
Yellowstone Boys & Girls Ranch has been a trusted leader in children's mental health since 1957, guiding youth toward healing and resilience. As the operator of The Lighthouse Ranch, YBGR brings decades of proven expertise in trauma-informed care to Gallatin County.
