A Timeline of Impact: Exploring YBGR History

How much do you know about the history of Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch (YBGR)? The timeline above brings it to life.

Tucked behind the dining hall, the Ranch library holds more than just books—it showcases a powerful visual display of our history. This timeline reflects decades of impact, growth, and transformation.

In the photograph above, Jake Mullins, HR Recruiter, stands beside this timeline, underscoring its significance. More than just a collection of dates, it tells the story of the mission that has guided us for over 67 years. Through challenges, growth, and change, our commitment to youth and families has remained steadfast.

More Than a Timeline—A Legacy of Caring That Stands the Test of Time

Much has changed over the years, but our historic slogan continues to ring true. Still painted on the back of the sign above the entryway to campus, it serves as a lasting reminder: “It sure makes a difference to know someone cares.”

We are grateful for the many caring individuals across YBGR who continue to carry our mission forward: “Caring people, preparing youth for life.”

Your work makes a lasting impact—just like the history we continue to write every day.
