Goshen Valley Foundation
At Goshen Valley, we believe kids in foster care deserve better. Kids enter foster care due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect from their families, and many youths are placed in negative environments and separated from their siblings. Youth aging out of care experience high arrest, addiction, and homelessness rates. With help, the youth at Goshen is beating the odds. Over the past 24 years, Goshen Valley has expanded and now has four programs, Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, Goshen New Beginnings, Goshen Homes, and Goshen Therapeutic Services. Each program has a unique focus and ministry to foster children in Georgia.
