Paca Peace Ranch is a non-profit organization serving the area around Westcliffe and Cotopaxi, Colorado. Youth of about 10 years of age visit the ranch one day per month. The youth come 2 at a time and have a one-on-one mentor. They learn to care for and train their personal alpacas.

Youth can build trusting relationships with their animals and other people at Paca Peace Ranch. They can gain confidence, and learn peaceful and healthy lifestyles through this one-year program.

No fees are charged. All staff are volunteers and transportation is provided. The ranch is funded by donations and grants.

Paca Peace Ranch practices non-discrimination in the selection of youth (race, creed, color, socio-economic status, gender, handicap).
