The development officer plays a pivotal role in strategic fundraising and relationship-building to support the advancement of the mission at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch:
Empowering youth and families with Christ-centered solutions to life controlling issues.
Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch is a Christ-centered residential treatment center for teens, 14-17, struggling with substance use, mental health, or behavioral health conditions. Rooted in Christian values, our program provides a nurturing and structured environment where healing, growth, and transformation are made possible through clinical intervention and spiritual growth.
If you are called to help families with teens in crisis by working to make high-quality, Christ centered treatment options more accessible through the strategic development of donor relationships, we invite you to apply.
