Progress Ranch has provided residential treatment services for emotionally at-risk boys between 6 and 12 years old for over 30 years in the safe and bike-friendly college town of Davis, California. Boys are referred by either county Social Services or Mental Health, at one six-bed site within Davis. The organization serves Yolo County and regional counties within a one hundred mile radius through a structured, logical and natural consequences program with points, steps and levels. Treatment services include individual, group and family therapies, 24-hour supervision, in-house tutoring, access to public and non-public schools, mainstreaming/normalization emphasis, community activities, yearly psychological evaluations, psychiatric consultant, casework management, mentors and literacy tutoring, internships and work study opportunities. The average length of stay for most boys is 18 months. Interested families or social workers should call and expect an interview when there are rare openings.

Volunteer opportunities are available through this organization, following required training. Volunteer applicants must have a good DMV record, CII clearance, and health clearance. The link below is story about a former resident's placement in Davis. Our policy is not to expose our residents to publicity unless their county social worker agrees that the resident stands to gain substantially from the exposure. In this case, a boy found his future home through this appeal to the community.
