Welcome to the web site for San Joaquin Valley Teen Challenge in Turlock California.  We are located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley which is a mixture of agricultural, industrial and commercial culture.

Teen Challenge is a Christian evangelistic and discipleship ministry for those with life-controlling problems.

San Joaquin Valley Teen Challenge provides a twelve to sixteen month residential facility for men 18 years of age and older, located on a thirty-seven acre working ranch and a six month re-entry center for men. Women, children, and families are referred to other Teen Challenge facilities nationally.

Our program consists of Bible-based teaching, personal advising/counseling and disciplined living, which all progress through four phases of life-training curriculum.  We also offer GED tutoring and vocational training.

This web site has been designed to be a resource for information about our centers.  If you don't find what you are looking for feel free to contact us by e-mail or by telephone.
