Galloping Grace Youth Ranch in Rio Rancho, NM is looking for volunteer ranch hands to work anywhere from once a month to 5 days a week. The ranch has a couple hundred animals, including cows, pigs, goats, chickens, lamas, and rabbits. Help care for animals, garden, paint, build structures, perform general maintenance and more.
Galloping Grace Youth Ranch is a fully sustainable non-profit ranch that diverts scrap food from grocery stores and food banks from going to landfills and uses it to feed our animals, including pigs, cattle, chickens, goats, lamas, horses and rabbits. Meat processed from our animals is donated to food banks and pantries. The earth is impacted, as food in landfills creates gases that are warming our planet. We divert over 2 million pounds of food from landfills to battle global warming and we help feed the hungry in NM. Most importantly we educate children on sustainable agriculture and develop children into leaders.

Mission Statement
Galloping Grace Youth Ranch is a place where kids lead kids while learning how to raise livestock, grow crops, explore the outdoors, and enrich the community.
Description
We are cultivating healthy children today so they will harvest a healthy society tomorrow.
Our purpose at Galloping Grace Youth Ranch is to bring pure joy to children. We believe that children experience Pure Joy from having fun while learning, interacting, leading, and serving. No matter what changes may occur in our programs, this central purpose will always run through the heart of our mission and will be the driving force and litmus test for everything we do.
Our organization will offer and promote programs in which children are involved in raising animals, growing crops, exploring the outdoors, and enhancing the community. GGYR will function as a working, sustainable farm/ranch, where children are empowered to lead, teach, work, and play alongside others. It is our firm belief that children learn best if they enjoy what they are doing. Because of this, we will strive to infuse joy into all of our activities.
