Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc. (FSYR, Inc.) is a 501c3 non-profit residential child and family services organization founded by The Florida Sheriffs Association in 1957.

FSYR, Inc.’s mission is to prevent juvenile delinquency and develop strong, lawful, resilient and productive citizens who will make a positive contribution to their communities for years to come.

With $5,000 and 160 acres (0.65 km2) of donated land on the banks of the Suwannee River, the Ranch aimed to act as a home for needy, neglected and unwanted boys.

Though the project struggled to stay afloat in its first few years of operation, the Boys Ranch developed into a popular and highly successful program.

Since its founding, the FSYR, Inc. has served more than 100,000 boys and girls and their families.
