Boys Ranch – Georgia Sheriffs' Youth Homes

Georgia Sheriffs’ Boys Ranch

Located in Hahira, Lowndes County, Boys Ranch was the first Georgia Sheriffs’ Youth Home. With over four hundred acres of beautiful woods and fields, Boys Ranch is a peaceful, welcoming setting for our residents. Boys Ranch serves boys and girls and offers a chapel, study settings, a cafeteria, two ponds, a pool and pool house and four cottages. In this beautiful and welcoming environment, our youngsters have plenty of room to explore, learn and develop.

Boys Ranch has a long-standing partnership with local residents who participate in campus events, volunteer their services and celebrate holidays with the boys and girls. In fact, many campus alumni love the area so much they choose to settle in Hahira after graduation. This supportive community involvement is one of the important reasons for the success of Boys Ranch residents throughout the decades.

Many of the children at the Ranch have continued their education in the university setting. A number of former residents have made their homes in and around the community of Hahira. They have become dedicated parents and a part of the business community.
