About St. Jude’s Ranch

St. Jude’s Ranch for Children has a 40 year history of caring for abused, abandoned and neglected children. Founded in 1967 by Father Jack Adam, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children opened it’s doors to a single child in need of love and care. Since that first child, St. Jude’s Ranch for Children has provided healing and nurturing for more than 1,000 children.

We are transforming the lives of abused and at-risk children, young adults and families by empowering them to create  new chances, new choices and new hope in a caring community.  Our programs offer a continuum of care for children and families to help break the cycle of abuse and neglect by mending spirits and renewing hope.

St. Jude’s Ranch for Children has three campuses in Nevada and Texas. Our National Offices and Boulder City, Nevada Campus are located in the foothills overlooking beautiful Lake Mead about 30 minutes from Las Vegas. The Bulverde and New Braunfels, Texas campuses are located in the Texas Hill Country about 30 minutes north of San Antonio.
