Idaho Youth Ranch Learning and Development VISTA

Idaho Youth Ranch unites for Idaho’s youth by providing accessible programs and services that nurture hope, healing, and resilience. We operate a network of thrift stores across the state of Idaho that fund our youth programs and services, including emergency shelter, residential care, youth and family therapy, job readiness training, adoption services, and more. In 2023, Idaho Youth Ranch is opening a new 64-bed residential facility, serving low-income families in Idaho.

The facility, a first of its kind in Idaho, will provide a place for Idaho youth to stay close to their families while receiving necessary treatment. VISTA members will be involved in the recruitment, engagement, fundraising, and more projects related to the residential center. All positions are based out of our offices in Boise,  occasional travel to other locations. The Ameri Corps VISTA members at Idaho Youth Ranch have the opportunity to work with passionate teammates, engage in monthly training and development, gain valuable skills, and live in one of the fastest growing cities in the United States!

Learning and Development will assess the current state of IYR’s Training and Development Program and IYR’s Services by reviewing, current training processes, training materials. Identify the current strengths and gaps of the program. Review current IYR strategic initiatives and define how they link to the Training and Development goals and objectives of the VAD. This will include evaluation of the VISTA legacy efforts at IYR and taking part in instructional design training needed to complete project goals.
