Idaho Youth Ranch is hiring: Social Media Influencer - Thrift & Mission Content

Location: Idaho Youth Ranch Thrift Stores (Various Locations Across Idaho)

Schedule: Flexible – choose when and where to create content!

Idaho Youth Ranch has helped at-risk kids and their families for more than 60 years through emergency shelter, residential care, substance abuse treatment, job readiness training, alternative education, adoption services, family counseling, and more. Our approach is to intervene early, treat the whole child, and stay with each kid as long as they need us.

Thanks to generous donors and our statewide network of 29 thrift stores, we can help kids and families immediately, even when they can’t afford the entire cost of care. When you shop at one of our stores or donate items for sale, you become part of the promise to Idaho’s kids.
