Teen Challenge Ranch of NW Arkansas is dedicated to helping troubled boys get a new start in life. Boys ages 14-17 come to Teen Challenge from across the United States. They are young men in need of help. They often struggle with issues such as: drug & alcohol abuse, anger & depression, legal problems, and behavioral problems. Teen Challenge offers students hope and the chance for a new life. They encourage boys to apply faith-based solutions to life’s problems, and actively teach that a personal relationship with God is the primary means and source of power to change. Teen Challenge endeavors to help young people become mentally sound, emotionally balanced, socially adjusted, physically well, and spiritually alive.
Teen Challenge values education and sees academic success as a key to long-term life success. They offer an accredited Christian school, GED preparation classes, and individual tutoring as a part of its education program. Teen Challenge takes a very disciplined and structured approach to learning and has been very successful in helping students get back on track with their education.
