Rancho Cielo is an unique and an amazing organization for youth in our community. This is a place where hopes, confidence, education and job-skills are nurtured and encouraged.
The opportunities provided to the young people are the foundation for a successful future, whether the graduates decide to continue in higher education or work in a trade needed in our community, they will leave here with the confidence and support they will succeed!
Rancho Cielo also encourages the people in our community when hearing from the students when dining at the Drummond Culinary Academy or attending events such as Graduations, Culinary Round Up, Casino Night or volunteering with Veggie Box packing days. Partnering and supporting Rancho Cielo truly leaves you with a "feel good" feeling! I encourage everyone to experience Rancho Cielo in some way, you'll be glad you did.

A great organization that assists students
with job training and support in reaching their goal of earning a high school diploma.
One of my favorite fundraising events is their Annual Rancho Cielo Culinary Round Up.

We attended a co-ed family only bridal shower. It was a wonderful opportunity for both families to meet and interact before the wedding. A huge tent allowed social distancing with great airflow. Beautiful flower arrangements and affordable catering. So grateful for their availability and service.

Rancho Cielo is here to give the youth in our central coast community a chance to change their path by achieving a high school diploma and gaining vocational experience. As an administrative assistant, I have grown close to the students that show me each day that giving up is not an option. It is amazing to see hard-working young people continue to reach for excellence in school and their personal lives. The staff is admirable, kind, and focused on the vision and mission of the organization. Always available for students and their parents.

Rancho Cielo is great! It has 4 vocational training programs based on the needs of Monterey County which support our local youth. The Drummond Culinary Academy has Friday Night Dinner open to the public. This gives the students a learning experience in the culinary business. Good Job Rancho Cielo!

Rancho Cielo is a place where all youth have a chance at creating a successful path forward. This is done through academic education and job training. Youth work alongside staff to overcome barriers, re-discover a love for self, the community and their future.

Hi everyone! My name is Cecilia Flores and although I work as the Development Director for Rancho Cielo and obviously partial to writing a 5 star review, I'd still like to voice my thoughts :) Aside from having an amazing group of co-workers, Rancho Cielo is truly a place were my personal passion for education and self-empowerment come alive. Our students have experienced many challenges in their short lives and regardless of the choices that they have made in the past, or perhaps because of those choices, they have become pretty remarkable and inspiring individuals. Being a small part of that transformation is something that I'm truly thankful and proud of.
