Rescue Ranch Receives Education Grant for Collaborative Head Start Program from Energy United

Last Updated 9/15/2023Posted in Homepage


Rescue Ranch is excited to announce that the organization is a recipient of funds awarded by Energy United, to start a new, collaborative educational program with iCare, inc. 

The goal of the program is to offer Head Start students a program that will increase their physical, social-emotional and intellectual development through hands on learning experiences and active play in a natural setting.  One of many programs being developed to benefit our community, this grant allows the program to be offered at no cost to the families.  

Students meet multiple times per month throughout the school year, culminating in a final celebration in May, where students and families share lessons learned through the program and celebrate their growth and success.

Rescue Ranch is grateful for the support and encouragement of Energy United and for the cooperation and partnership with iCare, Inc.
