Management
The Senior Management Team at St. Jude’s Ranch for Children is committed to delivering the highest quality program services to our children. Our staff is comprised of dedicated professionals – many of whom are licensed and certified in their fields – from a variety of backgrounds including finance, management consulting, nursing, child care, compliance, communications and event planning.
Our team is passionate about our kids and they come first in all we do. As such and in order to sustain the campuses and their initiatives, we hold fiscal responsibility and the careful management of funds entrusted to us at the highest priority. Our goal is to ensure children recapture lost childhoods and have the opportunity to just be kids for the first time.
