Service Programs

We are so grateful for all the volunteers who attend these important programs! Your selfless effort yields immediate results and leaves everyone feeling proud of what they’ve accomplished. Your combined hours save us thousands of dollars in labor costs, and most importantly help keep our program tuition prices down!

We hold service programs twice a year:

Spring Service Weekend

May 24-27, 2024
Memorial Day Weekend

Adults $59; Youth $49

There are a wide variety of projects that need attention to get the A/U Ranches ready for summer, so you can always find a project that fits your interest or skill set. There are two work sessions on Saturday, and one on Sunday afternoon. There are indoor and outdoor projects, and they typically include:

• painting/staining
• raking
• gardening
• cleaning
• window washing
• organizing/office jobs
• carpentry
• kid specific projects
• and more…

The weekend is not all work. Participants enjoy making new acquaintances, reconnecting with friends, utilizing the ranch facilities at the end of the day, playing games, taking hikes, attending church/Sunday school and enjoying the incredible surroundings.

How you can help

There are a number of ways you can participate in a Service Program:

• Physically come to the A/U Ranches to lend a hand to our cleanup efforts. You’ll play a big part in sprucing things up while enjoying some fantastic company!
• Send money to support a specific project or for general maintenance – flowers, paint, etc. Donate
• Donate a needed item on the A/U Ranches Wish List.
