Children placed in foster care are between the ages of 0-18 and in need of a stable and healthy home environment throughout the Permian Basin. A maximum of six children can be placed in one of our Foster Homes. Each child has a personalized treatment plan, which includes therapeutic services if needed, educational supports, and programs for independent living. Additionally, all children attend public schools, and engage in community recreation and activities. Children in campus foster care are typically ages 4 to 15 and have a higher level of needs than those in the community.Teen Home/ General Residential Operations (GRO) Mabee Teen Home for Boys: High Sky values youth being able to remain in their home communities, however currently, all older youth with a higher acuity of needs are leaving the region to find appropriate placements. 30 30 104 100 0 3042832 2463427 2439895 2284081 41667 45650 1047336 1399425 6571730 6192583 0 0 3462634 3472488 0 137056 3533459 2575741 6996093 6048229 -424363 144354 19707547 19780878 267741 196718 19439806 19584160 X HIGH SKY CHILDREN'S RANCH IS DEDICATED TO HEALING ABUSED CHILDREN AND PROMOTING FAMILY WHOLENESS. false false 1621408 Foster Care and Adoption - High Skys Foster Care program provides temporary care for children who have been neglected or abused. We recruit, train, and license community area families who are willing to open their hearts and homes to children in need. High Sky staff work closely with foster, adoptive, and kinship families to provide on-going training, resources, and continuous support. Many children must leave their communities due to a shortage of local homes. High Sky Childrens Ranch is committed to creating a community of hope through foster care and adoption.The Foster Care Program has been experiencing multiple challenges with state licensing and contract changes as well as increased regulatory oversight and heightened monitoring. The legislative changes that occurred in September 2021 are still impacting youth removals and dictating how youth are being placed into the foster care system. The Foster Care program has also experienced staffing challenges and hired several new program staff in 2022. Despite these challenges, the Foster Care program has adapted and focused on provided high-quality services. In 2022, the Foster Care program licensed 61 homes, cared for 56 youth, finalized 25 adoptions, and provided 9,132 days of service to children and youth in foster care. 1299930 Stay Together - The Stay Together Program offers comprehensive support and prevention services to families and youth within its 33-county service area, with a focus on empowering them through parenting and life/coping skills. The program caters to families with children aged 0-17 years (or older, if they are still attending high school), aiming to foster positive, healthy relationships. Through specialized curriculums, in-home visits, workshops, and a 24-hour crisis intervention hotline, the Stay Together Program provides preventive services at no cost to clients. Its goal is to equip families with the necessary tools for conflict resolution and family skills, enabling them to effectively navigate challenges. This program has remained adaptable and responsive to their clients needs and preferences. Since COVID, the Stay Together Program has continued to offer both in-person and virtual services to clients, affording clients increased flexibility with scheduling. The option to now serve clients virtually has increased staffing efficiencies and cost savings as well, especially in mileage and travel time. In 2022, the Stay Together program served a total of 758 clients, serving on average 182 youth monthly. The Stay Together program also provided 100 community workshops through our 33-county service area. 1128090 High Sky Emergency Shelter and Teen Boys Home - High Sky Childrens Ranch was awarded the contract for the Teen Boys home and began staffing for this program in 2021. The home was officially opened and began accepting placement of teen boys in March 2022. The Boys Teen Home offers a supportive and nurturing long-term placement for boys aged 13-17. In this home-like environment, specially trained caregivers provide trauma-informed care, practices, and behavioral interventions to meet the individual needs of each youth. The Teen Home focuses on creating a home-like atmosphere that allows the youth to experience normal teenage activities, develop life skills, and pursue employment opportunities, all while receiving comprehensive medical, behavioral, and mental healthcare support from dedicated Case Managers. This new program has allowed us to provide much-needed support and care for teen boys who have been removed from their homes by CPS. The Teen Home fills a crucial gap in our area, where long-term placements for teen boys with specialized needs are scarce. By recognizing this need and taking action, High Sky is working to ensure that these young individuals have a stable and nurturing environment where they can thrive and heal. High Sky Childrens Ranch operates an Emergency Shelter to provide temporary placement for children in foster care while long-term options are secured. The shelter welcomes children of all ages, ensuring that sibling groups can stay together during this challenging time. Caregivers in the shelter are trained in trauma-informed services to provide nurturing care, stability, and security. Alongside meeting basic needs, the shelter encourages age-appropriate recreational activities, and each child is assigned a Case Manager who oversees their medical, behavioral, and mental healthcare needs, as well as collaborates with schools to support their educational goals and academic progress. Through both campus programs, High Sky Childrens Ranch remains dedicated to offering a safe and caring environment for children in foster care, supporting their emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and overall development. In 2022, the Teen Boys Home provided 513 days of service to 3 youth in care, while the Emergency Shelter provided 2,182 days of service to 26 youth in care. 778341 4827769 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false false true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 21 0 true 104 true false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 30 30 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X HIGH SKY CHILDREN'S RANCH INC 4326947728 8701 W COUNTY RD 60 MIDLAND TX 79707 CHELSEY ROGERS Executive Direc 40.00 0.00 X 100571 0 0 JANETTE WORCESTER Finance Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 76421 0 0 PHILLIP KNIGHT Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KARI DINGLER CHAIR ELECT 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 COLE BRYAN VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MISSY KLINGENSMITH PAST CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 AMANDA ARNOLD Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH DAVENPORT BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TIFFANY PARSONS Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HALEY RAGSDALE Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JESSICA LOUDER Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CASEY ZACHRY Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SHERRIE CARRUTH Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARSHALL EVES Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 PAM CEPERO Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LISA BORDEN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOE GABARDA Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CODY OLDHAM Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 WHITNEY SMITH Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LAURA EARL Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SHANE STOKES Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOSE GAONA Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 AMY YENZER Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RODDY STROBEL Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ELIZABETH W DAVENPORT Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 HOLLY STROMAN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DEBRA WESTMORELAND Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CLINT WILLIAMSON Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANNABELLE GARDAPHE BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JILL AKIN Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ZACK ROYBAL Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 STEVEN BERRONES BOARD MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 176992 1 false false false MID-TEX OF MIDLAND 5206 W WADLEY MIDLAND TX 79707 GENERAL CONTRACTOR 154918 PEDRO RUIZ 902 BONHAM MIDLAND TX 79703 THERAPIST 118743 2 624879 1838548 2463427 PROGRAM SERVICE REVENUES 2284081 2284081 2284081 44073 44073 0 614361 614361 0 8036 6459 1577 1577 1577 1041145 256081 785064 785064 0 0 0 6192583 2285658 1443498 0 0 0 0 176992 176992 0 2624314 2269402 271765 83147 0 466319 406606 51326 8387 204863 165337 33325 6201 0 39320 8470 30850 39212 8394 30563 255 0 0 0 0 37791 22082 1265 14444 51376 32862 16272 2242 33999 17484 8052 8463 0 663913 546077 113809 4027 122493 113217 7315 1961 0 0 0 40662 40662 874070 608813 262833 2424 0 FOSTER CARE 238046 238046 THERAPY SERVICES 189394 189394 DIRECT HOUSEHOLD 73109 73109 DIRECT CLIENT ASSISTANCE 53701 53701 118655 74775 38375 5505 6048229 4827769 1083404 137056 465734 1639896 729510 0 97733 50000 293595 454668 0 0 0 0 52891 85784 19725327 4374138 15633899 15351189 2434185 2199341 0 0 0 0 19707547 19780878 267741 196718 267741 196718 X 19398585 19567695 41221 16465 19439806 19584160 19707547 19780878 144354 X false true X true true true X 5111912 3004659 3546631 2912832 1963427 16539461 0 0 5111912 3004659 3546631 2912832 1963427 16539461 3168379 13371082 348783 287191 286204 384140 658434 1964752 0 450005 551167 286453 680906 785064 2753595 21257808 0.62900 0.75190 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2691376 99220 29554 264146 2556004 2747686 69820 3423 129553 2691376 2444963 281400 21323 2747686 2130374 363301 20502 69214 2444963 1643188 484312 22213 19339 2130374 1.00000 false false false 19809 19809 15730387 2781818 12948569 2260094 693894 1566200 180393 134535 45858 1534644 763891 770753 15351189 X 5823785 5823785 368798 368798 6192583 6263648 256081 256081 6007567 40662 40662 6048229 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

We assist the youth with their transition to living independently out on their own. Our case Managers meet with the youth and discuss their individual goals. The Case Managers break down the necessary steps and highlight any potential obstacles and how to avoid them. We then meet regularly to monitor their progress and to set new goals. We have limited funding for each youth to bridge gaps in finances and to help assist them in achieving self-sufficiency. Our program works with youth in the Permian Basin in West Texas and the Concho Valley area and we have a 95% success rate in youth successfully entering the workforce and 91% of our youth are in stable housing as adults living on their own. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 5: Partnering with Parents and Therapeutic - Our Partnering with Parents and therapeutic programs work with parents who have had their youth removed by CPS; however, reunification is still a viable option. Our program offers supervised and monitored visitations and provides counseling for both the parent, the child and the family unit in our state-of-the-art therapeutic center. In addition to providing parental skill development and education, our program offers bonding with parent and child through art therapy. This allows them to create keepsakes for each other during their separation while the court reviews their progress and makes a decision regarding reunification. PWP helped families navigate through one of the hardest challenges they will ever face - healing their own traumas, addictions, and behavioral challenges to reunify with their children. Many of these parents have their own previous history of trauma and with CPS, thus repeating the cycle of child abuse. OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 6: Preparation for Adult Living: Life Skills Training - Our PAL classes are designed to teach life skills to youth ages 16 and up that are in foster care. We teach topics such as Money Management, Housing & Transportation, Health & Nutrition, Job Skills, Planning for the Future, and Personal & Interpersonal relationships. We use experiential field trips such as touring Universities and Apartment complexes to enhance the material covered by our expert speakers from the local community. This enables the youth to learn how to utilize resources in their specific community and make connections with individuals and agencies that will continue to benefit the youth.
