High Five Rancho Cielo

We are proud to announce that Rancho Cielo has been honored with the High Five Community Excellence Award. This recognition celebrates the remarkable efforts of individuals and organizations that work to make a positive and lasting impact on our community.

Presented by FOX 35 and Monterey Credit Union, the High Five Award is given quarterly to outstanding recipients in Monterey, Santa Cruz or San Benito Counties who exemplify compassion, service and dedication. Rancho Cielo was selected for our commitment to empowering at-promise youth through education, vocational training and holistic support.

The High Five Award isn’t just an accolade—it’s a spotlight on community role models who are building a better, more inclusive Central Coast. At Rancho Cielo, we take pride in being part of that mission. Every day, our staff, volunteers and partners dedicate their time, talents and hearts to helping young people transform their lives and reach their full potential.

This award is a reflection of the collective passion and perseverance of the entire Rancho Cielo community. We continue to create pathways for success and hope for a brighter future.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to FOX 35, Monterey Credit Union and the High Five selection committee for this honor. And most importantly, thank you to our community for believing in our mission and supporting our work. Opportunities start HERE!
