Since 1965, our mission has been one of belief.
For youth who are hurting, who feel lost or abandoned. For teens who question their worth, and families feeling powerless to help them. Rawhide exists for you. Because every one of us was created to be loved. And it’s our mission to help hurting and at-risk youth discover the hope of a healthy and fulfilling life.
For troubled young men who need healthy changes and a new direction.
For young men and women struggling with mental and emotional health.
Many of the youth who come to Rawhide are in real danger. From themselves, others around them or their living situations. Your support does more than help them find peace or stability. Your donations mean real lives saved.
