Who is CBR YouthConnect?
The Early Years
CBR YouthConnect has been helping youth and families in Colorado since 1959. In the early days, we were known as “Colorado Boys Ranch Foundation,” a 501 (c) (3) non profit with a campus in La Junta, Colorado. Boys and girls would come to the ranch to learn about value, ethics, animals, natural, and personal responsibility. When they left, they felt connected to those around them and empowered to make meaningful changes in their life. The Colorado Boys Ranch was the foundation for success.
Today
Due to shifting needs and funding, the Colorado Boys Ranch was sold in 2014 and re-branded as CBR YouthConnect. And while our location has changed, our mission has not. Today, you can find us working directly in homes, at schools, and out in the community to provide the same value, ethics, and personal responsibility we’ve been providing for over 50 years.
