Boles Children's Home, founded in 1924, functioned in its first three decades as an orphanage utilizing dormitory living for large groups of children. Beginning in the mid-fifties, it transitioned into a children's home, with smaller groups of boys and girls living in cottages with houseparent couples. In the mid-eighties, the transition continued toward the present multi-program Child and Family Services agency providing a range of residential, counseling, and vocational services to children and to single-parent mothers and their children. Throughout its history, Boles Home has maintained the foundational Christian values, woven into the fabric of its service programs. Boles has provided a home to over 21,0000 Children in its 84 years of service. No child or family is turned away because of race, religion, color, national origin, or inability to pay.

The Arkansas Sheriffs' Youth Ranches' mission is to address, remedy, and prevent child abuse and neglect by creating safe, healthy, and permanent homes for children. Our philosophy has always been that it is better to build a child rather than repair an adult. Founded in 1976 by a group of sheriffs and concerned citizens, the Ranch began as a single cottage (mobile home) that served as shelter to three young boys. The Ranch now consists of three campuses across Arkansas with eight cottages for boys and girls. During its history, the Ranch has been "a place to call home" to more than 1,200 children and touched the lives of many more. Many of the children who come to the Ranch are often the product of a broken home of abuse and neglect, lacking the nurturing relationship of a loving family. The Ranch provides a healthy home environment filled with emotional support to help each child learn to trust those around them and cope with their emotions, all the while learning responsibility and building self-confidence. When children enter the Ranch, they are surrounded with individuals who care about their immediate needs and their future aspirations. It is the Ranch’s commitment to every child – a commitment that extends from the Board of Directors to management personnel, administrative staff, house parents, support staff and volunteers – to help them believe in themselves and lead fulfilling, meaningful lives. Residents may stay at the Ranch through post-secondary education until they are socially and financially prepared for independence and have stable employment. More than 900 children have experienced life at the Ranch, and for those and many in the future, the Ranch will always be a place to call home.
