What is a ranch intern?

Ranch Interns are individuals who work on ranches to gain hands-on experience in livestock management, land stewardship, and daily ranch operations. They often assist with tasks such as feeding animals, maintaining equipment, herding, fencing, and sometimes basic veterinary care. Ranch internships are typically designed for students or those interested in pursuing a career in agriculture or ranch management. These positions provide practical skills and exposure to the realities of working on a ranch, often in exchange for a stipend, housing, or academic credit.

What are some typical challenges a ranch intern may face during their internship?

As a Ranch Intern, you may encounter challenges such as adapting to physically demanding tasks, variable weather conditions, and early morning hours. It's common to juggle multiple responsibilities, from animal care and feeding to equipment maintenance and assisting with land management. The learning curve can be steep, especially if you're new to agricultural work, but most ranches provide mentorship and training to help interns succeed. Building strong communication skills and being proactive in asking questions will help you integrate smoothly into the team and overcome these challenges.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a ranch intern, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Ranch Intern, you typically need basic agricultural knowledge, animal care experience, and a willingness to perform physical labor, often supported by a high school diploma or relevant coursework. Familiarity with farm machinery, feeding systems, and safety protocols is beneficial, as is a valid driver’s license for operating ranch vehicles. Strong work ethic, adaptability, and effective communication skills help interns integrate into ranch teams and handle unpredictable tasks. These abilities ensure the intern can contribute to daily operations, learn quickly, and maintain the safety and productivity of the ranch environment.

In summary, a Ranch Intern is primarily a learning position aimed at gaining experience in ranch operations, often part-time or seasonal, while a Ranch Worker is a full-time role focused on performing daily ranch tasks. Interns typically have less experience and work under supervision, whereas Ranch Workers are more experienced and handle routine responsibilities independently.

Job description

Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is a residential treatment and educational center for youth and their families, a place where we look the most troubled, complex, and amazing kids in the eye, walk with them, and help them become their best selves. Because the Ranch helps the kids that no one else can, we provide unparalleled care, expertise, and presence to keep today's troubled kids from becoming tomorrow's troubled adults.
The Ranch is currently accepting applications for the 2027 Spring semester internship opportunities on our Fargo Campus. This internship is unpaid.
Under the direction and supervision of a licensed professional clinical counselor, an intern actively engages with youth, families, and internal and external resources to ensure the needs and goals of the youths are met. The Counseling Intern contributes to the treatment as part of a multidisciplinary team by providing individual, group, and family counseling.
This position requires a student to be actively enrolled in a Counseling program. Typical working hours are flexible and based on the needs of the intern. Therapists are typically here during regular business hours Monday through Friday. Group therapies are often scheduled in the afternoons and early evenings, so interns would be asked to help with these groups at least one evening (6 pm-7 pm) per week.
The ideal candidate MUST:

  • Have a passion for helping children and families find success
  • Have excellent communication skills
  • Enjoy being a part of a collaborative team
  • Exemplify professionalism
  • Be a champion of organization and technology
  • Be a senior graduating in the next 1-3 semesters
  • Have the ability to pass a criminal background check, including child abuse

The Ranch embraces a strong culture of learning and supports Counseling Interns in gaining experience and skills to obtain licensure within their field.
