The Idaho Youth Ranch (IYR) is a non-profit, multi-service charity in Idaho, USA. Idaho Youth Ranch's mission is "We unite for Idaho's youth by providing accessible programs and services that nurture hope, healing, and resilience."

Idaho Youth Ranch began in 1953 by the Reverend James and Ruby Carey Crowe. The vision was to provide an alternative to incarceration, institutionalization and hospitalization of children. What began as a working ranch located outside of Rupert, Idaho has grown to providing a range of services across the state.

Idaho Youth Ranch programs include adoptions, alternative education, foster care recruitment and training, vocational training, family counseling, case management, aftercare, independent living services, crisis shelter, community-based group homes and a therapeutic residential program (500 acres, the “Ranch”). IYR also owns and operates numerous thrift stores throughout Idaho that serve as a source of revenue as well as an additional resource for families and an employment opportunity for youth in IYR's programs.

Because of Idaho Youth Ranch's donors, thrift store shoppers, grants and foundations, IYR offers help to children and families based on what they can afford. IYR also provides its graduates and clients with support after formal services have ended. These include college and vocational scholarships, financial assistance, and help from counselors.

Idaho Youth Ranch is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Each year, IYR publishes an annual report which includes information on the financial condition of the agency and measures of program effectiveness.
