Idaho Youth Ranch Advancement VISTA

The Advancement Team at Idaho Youth Ranch builds meaningful connections that fuel our mission and expand our impact across Idaho. We secure the resources, partnerships, and community engagement needed to ensure that youth and families have access to hope, healing, and opportunity. Our work spans fundraising, donor relations, volunteer engagement, events, grant development, and community outreach. We steward relationships with individuals, businesses, foundations, and civic partners, aligning their passions with programs that change lives.

Through storytelling and strategic communication, we elevate awareness of the challenges Idaho's youth face and invite others to be part of the solution. Capacity building is at the heart of everything we do. We strengthen systems, grow sustainable funding streams, and create scalable opportunities for involvement so our programs can serve more youth, more effectively. This includes developing volunteer infrastructure, enhancing event experiences, expanding donor pipelines, and equipping internal teams with the tools and support they need to thrive.

We don't just raise funds, we build a community of champions. By investing in long-term relationships, fostering collaboration, and creating pathways for people to give their time, talents, and resources, we ensure Idaho Youth Ranch can meet today's needs while preparing for tomorrow's growth.
