Reclaiming Hope Ranch is located in the Hillsboro, Oregon area. We are a mentor-based program designed to give kids, who have a history in foster care and adoption, a safe place to be who they are.

Two trained adults spend 90 minutes with each individual child in a safe and encouraging environment. A child can experience a simple desire to play and engage with different types of activities: Ride or be with horses, engage in creative activities, or playing on the ranch. We provide avenues for short term goal setting, expressing themselves, being listened to, engaging their senses, and expanding their experiences.

“For kids that have come from hard places, research has discovered, that when they play, it brings down the chemistry of fear, and brings up the chemistry of healing. When children learn to laugh and giggle, they can’t be terrified anymore.”
