Empowering youth and families Good Samaritans mission is to empower youth in foster care and families in crisis to heal from trauma and build resiliency. Since 1959 Good Samaritan Boys Ranch is on a mission to confront the forces that push families into foster care andtransformthe systems that fail youth as they leave it.

Last year Good Samaritan served over390children and families helping prevent the cycle of trauma family separation and homelessness for generations to come.
