Teen Challenge Ruth’s Haven Teen Girl’s Center

Nestled on 30 acres of peaceful ranchland between two mountain ranges, this residential center supports girls ages 12 to 17 who have experienced exploitation, trafficking, abuse, addiction, and trauma. The long-term program, lasting 12 to 18 months, offers structured care through counseling, mentoring, and a safe, faith-based environment designed for deep emotional and spiritual restoration.
Each day blends therapy and structure with meaningful experiences like hiking, volunteering at local churches, visiting nearby hot springs, baking, crafts, and animal care. With goats and chickens on campus, animal therapy fosters responsibility and empathy. These activities not only offer healing outlets but also build resilience, teamwork, and a sense of purpose in each girl’s life.
Girls continue their education through accredited online high school courses and can earn a diploma upon graduation. The campus features welcoming rooms, nutritious meals, and opportunities to help with cooking and chores. Job readiness training, spiritual direction, and campus amenities create a full, nurturing environment where students grow emotionally, academically, and practically—equipping them for lifelong success.
