Tucked away on 315 beautiful acres on Union Church Road is one of our community’s key resources for children and families. 

 

Founded in 1985, Eagle Ranch is a healing community that surrounds a child and their family to provide the support they need to work through a crisis. Through its two-year residential program, the Ranch offers children a peaceful, stable environment to help families overcome challenges they have difficulty resolving on their own.

 

Eagle Ranch provides a Christ-centered home, education, counseling, and spiritual guidance for up to 42 boys and 24 girls. The neighborhood-like campus includes ten homes, a SACS-accredited school, a chapel, equine therapy facilities, a gym and fitness center, and other recreational activities. Additionally, Eagle Ranch works with each child’s family through counseling, training, and support for their parents and siblings – annually, over 200 family members receive these services. The goal is for children to return to families that have the tools needed to maintain healthy relationships and overcome future obstacles.

 

Eagle Ranch serves more than 40 counties in north Georgia and metro Atlanta. Its mission is simple: to make life better for children and their families, positively impacting communities for the glory of God. Since its founding, the Ranch has been debt-free. It accepts no government funding and relies on contributions from individuals, businesses, community organizations, and private foundations to support its annual budget. 

 

Opening to the public this summer, The Wings Center is an expansion of the Eagle Ranch mission, offering broader community-based services. The Wing Center will provide outpatient counseling, retreats, educational opportunities, and organizational mentoring. Located next door to Eagle Ranch, The Wings Center shares a Christ-centered mission and a focus on excellence in service.

 

Eagle Ranch loves to meet its neighbors and has many ways to get connected. 

 

Run the Ranch: Explore the beautiful campus and have a fun day participating in Run the Ranch on Saturday, June 4. The event includes a 5K, Fun Run, and Nature Walk. Family discounts are available. 

 

Group Tours and Speakers: Eagle Ranch offers tours of our campus to groups. It also has speakers available to community groups interested in learning more about the mission or topics related to children and families.

 

Volunteers: There are many ways to volunteer by joining an Eagle Ranch volunteer group in your neighborhood (many cook meals and help in other ways) or by participating in one of the Ranch’s Serve Saturdays. The Ranch can help identify the best way for you to volunteer based on your time, talents, and interests.
