A “cowboy” town located in British Columbia has been made available to Youth for Christ and other organizations working with high risk teens. A bunkhouse, cookhouse, many other western style buildings and horses provide a unique environment for kids to visit with counsellors for day visits or weekend stays.
“High risk teen boys are disconnected because they rarely have family to rely on or a support network to guide them and their lives are filled with risks characterized by drugs, booze, violence, living on the streets and family breakdown. Self destruction is easy to achieve and it doesn’t take any effort at all. An old cowboy town experience is a new and improved way for the professionals to work with and to engage bad kids. I was sort of a bad kid. Now I can help bad kids. This is good.” said Brian Lovig.
