Mission: Erik’s Ranch & Retreats provides safe and unequaled living, working, social and recreational environments for young adults with autism, using its guiding principles of lifelong learning, individual community building, and bidirectional integration through voluntourism. We’re committed to giving each of our residents a rewarding life on his/her own terms, experiencing dignity, compassion and the joy of continuing possibility. Company Overview: Erik’s Ranch & Retreats is a 501c(3) nonprofit corporation with two locations, one near Bozeman, MT; the other Edina, MN. The residential programs will offer living, working and lifelong learning experiences for adults with ASD. Both locations are integrated into the surrounding community so residents live, work and interact with both neighbors and visitors to these unique destinations. Residents will live as independently as possible, engaged in meaningful activities that include family, friends and community. Our mission is to (1) match the environment and the residents’ strengths, abilities and desires, (2) increase skills, enabling independence and participation in the community, and (3) provide surroundings that encourage family and community participation.
