They must follow established guidelines, rules and regulations set by Triangle Cross Ranch and Department of Family Services (DFS), and be familiar with those rules and regulations.
The Mentor must possess high moral and ethical standards with a strong Christian/Catholic background.

Ranch hand labor such as irrigation, fence building/repair, carpentry, large animal care, driving heavy equipment and late hours are all part of the ranch life.
Triangle Cross Ranch is a learning opportunity with nature, in a ranch environment, set in “cowboy” culture and tradition. The Mentor will learn to portray the cowboy way of living through dress and appearance and traditional ranch work.
The Mentor needs to be a strong person that will not be easily manipulated by the boys, yet has empathy for each boy’s situation. The Mentor will maintain a written log of daily activities accounting for each boy’s attitude inside and outside.
The Mentor is responsible to ensure that all meals are nutritious and follow proper food handling procedures. Provide a family dining atmosphere when possible, using proper table manners, and cleaning up after meals.
