Goshen Valley Boys Ranch

Foster Parent Recruitment and Retention Specialist - 2024

Over the past year, Cherokee County has seen exponential growth in the number of youth entering foster care. To accommodate this need, Goshen is looking to create a new staff position to assist in expanding their partnerships with local churches as well as support current foster families. This gift funds the salary for a new Foster Parent Recruitment and Retention Specialist position for one year.

Counseling Services Benevolence Fund - 2024

Goshen plans to establish a benevolence fund to ensure continued provision of mental health and family support services to families and individuals who lack insurance or other means of payment. This gift toward the fund helps to prevent youth from entering foster care through early intervention.

New Medical Coordinator/Provider - 2024

Goshen aims to enhance medical services in the organization by introducing a provider who can handle most minor appointments across all three of its residential agencies. This move will streamline care, reduce travel time for staff and foster parents, and ensure top-quality medical attention for all youth in Goshen's care. This gift offsets the anticipated $75,000 loss that is projected even after all medical costs and insurance billing is accounted for.
