Home for Today.
Hope for Tomorrow.
Every child deserves a safe place to call home.
Parks Youth Ranch provides emergency shelter, counseling, and life changing services to abused and neglected youth.
When a child has nowhere else to turn…
Parks Youth Ranch becomes home.
Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and valued.
Yet more than 1,200 students in Fort Bend and Lamar CISD were identified as experiencing homelessness during the 2025–2026 school year. When young people face abuse, neglect, homelessness, or family crisis, Parks Youth Ranch is here to provide safety, stability, and hope.

Celebrating Success
This spring, one of our residents graduated from high school—a huge accomplishment! Since then, he’s earned his learner's permit, is working toward getting his driver's license, and is getting ready to start a new job at McDonald's.
It's been exciting to watch him continue to reach his goals and taking steps toward independence. We couldn't be prouder and look forward to cheering him on in this next chapter.
Your support fuels progress and brings hope where it's needed most.

Help our youth start the school year with confidence. Our greatest needs are gift cards for clothing and items from our Amazon School Supply Wish List. Gift cards allow each child to choose clothes that fit their style and help them feel confident at school, while Amazon purchases are shipped directly to the Ranch and put into the hands of the youth who need them most.
