Our vision at Rancho Cielo is to transform the lives of at-risk youth and empower them to become accountable, competent, productive and responsible citizens.
Imagine the potential in every young person,
in a setting that helps them make it real.
That's Rancho Cielo.
We invest education, training, and counseling
in youth facing challenges.
And they reward our belief in them—with their success.

Our Future: Ted Taylor Ag Vocational Center
The Ted Taylor Ag Vocational Center opened in August 2019. The Center will offer training for highly-skilled, living wage jobs serving Monterey County's largest industry—agriculture. With the opening of the Ag Vocational Center, 160 resilient young people (up from 125 in previous years) will receive diploma education and vocational training at Rancho Cielo. The four wings of the structure will include:
- Salad Factory Line Repair and Maintenance/Refrigeration Technician/Food Safety/Electrical (opened August 2019)
- Sustainable Construction/Tiny Home Construction (opened August 2019)
- Tractor and Automotive Repair (beginning in 2020)
- Ag Futures/Robotics/Production (beginning in 2021)
Thank you to those who supported the Capital Campaign to make this possible:
