Janice Faye's Ranch is named after Joy's mom, Janice Faye, in hopes that it will carry on her mom's legacy of being a true servant of God and making her life's mission that of, "Doing unto others as she would have them do unto her". This was also Mary Kay's life and business motto. Joy and her husband, Darrell are the proud parents of three married children, six grandchildren and one great grandchild. Darrell and Joy are also proud to serve the county as licensed foster parents.
Joy will guide the staff in selecting and accepting at-risk youth in the program who show the highest risk factors. She feeds, grooms and trains the equine and teaches the at-risk youth life skills learned through The Natural Lifemanship Institute. Joy counsels the tutoring and vocational training volunteers as well as the equine specialists. She and Darrell have become more aware of the need some children have of simply feeling safe and loved while experiencing the foster parent life challenges. These are two major life lessons the ranch will seek to provide at-risk youth who participate in the program.
