About Us

Cal Farley's is one of America's largest privately-funded child and family service providers specializing in both residential and community-based services at no cost to the families of children in our care.

Cal Farley’s offers three types of services to children and families: residential, educational and community-based. The residential, or campus-based, programs offer children a campus environment where children live in homes or cottages at Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch or Cal Farley’s Girlstown, U.S.A.. Ten to 12 children live in the homes with house parent couples providing supervision, mentoring and parenting. Our basic-care services offer 24-hour supervision in a small community setting.

The educational programs provide the children on our campuses academic, athletic and extracurricular opportunities similar to those offered at other Texas public schools.

Our community-based services currently offer a variety of resources to children and families living in or near four Texas metropolitan areas, including Amarillo, Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. Not all children require or would benefit from our residential services, but many families can benefit from our expertise without resorting to the challenges related to out-of-home placement.
