Since 2011, The Fred & Mabel R. Parks Youth Ranch has been serving abused and neglected youth in Fort Bend County by providing a safe, supportive and structured environment. As the only homeless shelter in Fort Bend County for youth ages 7 to 17, it is a vital resource for the community. Parks Youth Ranch has been an important part of many youths’ journeys to stability, and along the way, the organization has also weathered both challenges and change. We subscribe to the Core Values of: • Youth-focused • Caring • Empowerment . • Fiduciary • Respect Vision: Through strong and effective community partnerships with a sustainable financial base, the youth receiving care at the Fred and Mabel R. Parks Youth Ranch will be empowered with coping skills, hope and achievable goals and no longer at risk of being homeless.
