Is Rockside a good fit for you?

Our students often tell us...

  • I have trouble finding or keeping a job

  • I have tense relationships with my family or friends

  • I am frustrated by habits that control my life

  • I feel stuck and I don’t know what to do

Sound familiar? Then you’re not alone—and we can help.

Take the first step toward a better life.

Everyday Moments Episode 17! 🔨🪵 Volunteers are a blessing to our staff and program. Whether it’s driving a student to a dentist appointment or spending a few days on a building project, volunteers are a huge part of meeting tangible needs at the ranch. Last month at Rockside Etna, a group of volunteers spent their spring break building an outdoor gathering space that we’ve been dreaming of for years. Life restoration happens because YOU come alongside us, shoulder to shoulder when you pray, give, and volunteer. Thank you! ❤️ #liferestoration #workingranch #nonprofit #RocksideRanch

We have many animals on the ranch-pigs, chickens, dogs, horses and goats! Caring for animals teaches the students habits that transfer to life after the ranch, such as hard work, dedication and consistency! #workingranch #liferestoration
