MTC Youth Ranch clip as featured in the film The Code of the West

MTC Youth Ranch was featured in the film The Code of the West: Alive and Well in Wyoming. This film, produced by Jim Havey and presented by the "Center for Cowboy Ethics and Leadership," was intended to demonstrate how honesty and dedication are virtues that, while typifying the rural businesses of the western portion of the country, are becoming lost traits in our current culture. The interview with the founder of MTCYR, Gerald Schneider, explains how the simplicity and earnestness of ranch work frees the soul from material frivolities and makes it aware that joy and plenitude come from within one's own heart. In this clip, Gerald and some of the residents at MTCYR discuss how the "cowboy" way of life forces the individual to accept responsibility on every level, from caring for the lives of animals to performing small chores that would negatively impact the entire operation if neglected. We hope that by viewing this brief excerpt, "A Different Culture: Mount Carmel Youth Ranch," you will find that the location of our program is an ideal atmosphere where your son will develop the integrity and character that defines what it is to be a "man."

We extend sincere gratitude to friend and colleague, Jim Havey at "Havey Productions" (www.haveypro.com ), and to the "Center for Cowboy Ethics and Leadership" (www.cowboyethics.org) for granting copyright permission to MTCYR for use of this footage.
