YBGR’s Native American Services program supports Native youth in our Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility by connecting them to their cultural roots. Through Mustang Nation, a club that meets twice a month, youth engage in traditional activities like beadwork, Native games, sweat lodges, and crafting.
A Wellbriety Talking Circle offers healing support for those facing addiction, and smudging is available on designated days before lunch. As a symbol of resilience and pride, youth who successfully complete treatment leave a painted handprint on the NAS tipi, raised each November to honor Native American Heritage Month.
Your support will help with supplies for crafting, the purchase of sage for smudging, snacks during club meetings, and other needs to help Native American youth reconnect with their heritage.

The YBGR Community Based Services Food Pantry Fund was created to fight food insecurity for children and families in CBS programs across Montana. This vital fund allows staff to provide healthy meals and snacks for kids experiencing food insecurity, or help families facing hunger by offering essential groceries.
It’s a short-term lifeline—offering immediate relief until families can access longer-term support like SNAP.
Your gift can make a real difference. Together, we can ensure that children can focus on learning and healing, not hunger.

When Yellowstone Academy’s (YA) Casper Education Center was completed in 1965, YBGR was a facility for troubled boys. Today, YBGR is an accredited youth mental health treatment center, and the boys and girls who now attend YA require a higher level of care and supervision.
The main bathrooms in Casper were designed like most school buildings with boys’ and girls’ bathrooms each having multiple stalls, allowing several individuals to use the bathroom at the same time. However, due to safety concerns, more than half of YA students must have an adult accompany them to the bathroom and wait outside, and only one youth can be in the bathroom at a time, often causing long wait times to use the bathroom.
Remodeling the Casper bathrooms would create four single-use bathroom units plus a monitoring area for staff to wait in. In addition, portable panels can be used in anyone of the bathrooms to provide some privacy for students who are on suicide watch and require an adult to be in the same room, increasing the safety of the most at-risk students attending YA.
Will you help us improve the comfort and safety of youth struggling with mental health challenges?
Consider a gift to Yellowstone Foundation in support of Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch and similar organizations that treat youth facing the damage severe trauma has had on their lives.
