The Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranches is a nonprofit organization based in Batesville, Arkansas, founded in 1976 by sheriffs to provide a home for boys. It now operates three residential campuses, two of which are working ranches, offering homes for both boys and girls and prioritizing safe, healthy, and loving care beyond basics. The organization emphasizes access to healthcare, educational opportunities, and a stable environment, supporting each child's educational goals whether through college, vocational training, or apprenticeships, regardless of length of stay. In recent years it has seen leadership changes and ongoing community engagement, including the retirement of longtime houseparents in 2024 and participation in Arkansas Children's Award events.
