This is how long you have to be a Ranch resident, without any behavior problems and meeting all program expectations, before you can begin taking to your counselor about employment
At least 30 days…on day 31 you can begin the conversation about being eligible to work with your counselor. Employment is a privilege, not a right, while at The Ranch. If you have been missing program requirements, or have had any issues during your first 30 days, you may have to wait longer to see employment. Also, once employed, if any problems arise during your stay, staff CAN restrict or terminate your privilege of employment
