Rising Above Daily Youth Ranch Featured!
We’re thrilled to share that Rising Above Daily Youth Ranch was recently featured in the September issue of Vancouver Family Magazine!
This spotlight is more than just a story—it’s a celebration of the incredible journey we’ve been on. From a dream with no horses to a fully operating ranch with three horses, equine and sports mentorship programs, and community outreach, the article highlights the heart behind our mission of Connection, Community, and Mentorship. To go to the online article, click the Vancouver Family Magazine image located above.Our Mission
Our mission is centered around three core areas: Connection, Community, and Mentorship.
Connection: The world is divisive, distracting, and isolating. We all need connection – this is especially true for kids. We nurture connection to mentors, horses, self-worth, and ultimately to Christ.
Community: Safety. Belonging. Purpose. Those feelings do not happen by accident. Tehy come from a community where judgement and pressure are replaced by welcoming-love and service.
Mentorship: Who made a difference in your life? Did that person help you feel seen, heard, supported, or encouraged? Mentorship makes a difference and that is why it is so important to us.
Connection, Community, Mentorship
Our Vision
Where kids know their worth.
How We Do This
Rising Above Daily is a community where every youth has access to a safe haven and a nurturing community. At our free-of-charge youth ranch, we stand in the gap, offering a place where kids can discover hope, peace, and freedom.

Here's what some of our participants and their families have to say...
"My daughter started off so shy that she barely spoke, and if she did, it was super quiet. After working with trainer Cathy, Ehren, and Kia at the ranch with Big Gray, she's grown not only in confidence but is now asking to help with the goats and horses! Such a win for our girl." The Ritchie Family
When her daughter was expelled from school for bringing a knife, her mom texted Ehren to ask if she could still attend the equine ministry. She mentioned that it has been very beneficial for her daughter and that she has observed many positive changes since she started coming.
After this youth was expelled for bringing a BB gun to school, he emailed Ehren to ask if he could stay in the program. He said it had been very helpful for him, and he didn’t want to lose that opportunity. Before joining, he described himself as being "in a deep, dark pit of despair." The connections he made through RA helped him find a way out of that place.
