Community Service Projects |
 Many of boys that come to Rawhide Boys Ranch have restitutional requirements. To help fulfill these requirements we involve them in a number of community service projects through requests that we receive from all over the state of Wisconsin.
We often receive requests from various communities to provide assistance on a number of projects, including disaster assistance and relief, clearing trails, painting houses, churches or bridges, repairing roofs or helping to build a home, and delivering wood to needy families. |

 Carefully chosen community service projects allow cadets to work closely with field trainers to learn valuable job skills, pay restitution, and build self-esteem. Youth experts have long believed that the act of serving others can build confidence, a sense of responsibility, and social connectedness that is beneficial both to the young volunteer and the larger community. A recent study confirmed that youth from disadvantaged backgrounds who volunteer demonstrated more positive civic attitudes and behaviors than youth from disadvantaged backgrounds who didn't. |
