David L. Bailey Jr., MS, Chief Executive Officer
I lead a dynamic team of talented clinicians, educators, health care professionals, volunteers and support staff at Ranch Hope, where I’ve served for over 25 years. My strengths include public speaking, coaching, energy, peace keeping and making friends (and gift from my father). The goal? Show up! And once I do, BE REAL, serve humbly, with patience, humor and utilizing the gifts of those around me. Never settle! I’ve championed social enterprise, green design, technology and collaboration. Take action! Gather intel, Gather insight, Move Forward! I am a graduate of Penn State University (’89) and thankful to a flexible Eastern University (MS ’02) where as a new father I took classes at night, at St David’s and Center City campuses. I stay involved in the community as a member of the Salem County Chamber of Commerce Board, a member of the Memorial Hospital of Salem County Board, member of the Salem County Community College Foundation Board and member of the Rotary Club of Woodstown.
A Message from the CEO
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn how Ranch Hope serves children and families throughout the State of New Jersey and Delaware Valley!
I am honored to represent the many houseparents, counselors, teachers, staff and volunteers of the Ranch Hope family as Executive Officer of the ministry, founded by my father and mother in 1964. Since that time, Ranch Hope has continued to be a shelter of hope – changing the lives of area children few will help and fewer will assist.
My father has always defined the word “hope” as – “an expectation of success!” Ranch Hope is a ministry that “expects” success in all that we strive to do. We are continually motivated by the values taught to us by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. By mentoring His ways to the children entrusted to us, we believe every child can learn. We believe every child can grow, and we believe every child can suceed.
After reviewing this website, I ask that you consider becoming a member of the Ranch Hope “family”, either professionally, as a volunteer or through your financial support. Each of these memberships is vital to sustaining this ministry. Thank you for your interest and I hope to speak with you soon.
In Him,
David L. Bailey, Jr.

Ranch Hope’s Sexual Abuse Safe-Child Statement
Ranch Hope is committed to the safety and well-being of all children and youth accessing our services.
