Youth are cared for by “cottage parents” who help instill strong work values, integrity, quality, a sense of responsibility and building character, to ensure they are given the same opportunities as their peers for school attendance and extracurricular activity participation. The objective of the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches is to prevent delinquency and develop lawful, resilient and productive citizens.
