Sierra Nevada Teen Ranch was listed as a teen group-care facility in Washoe County, Nevada. A 2010 North Valleys Citizen Advisory Board agenda described a Sierra Nevada Teen Ranch special-use permit item for a facility in Bedell Flat, east of the Sierra Ranchos and Rancho Haven communities (Washoe County agenda).

The county agenda described the project as including housing, counseling, education, and recreational opportunities for up to 40 at-risk teenagers. A Reddit troubled-teen-program wiki page separately identifies Sierra Nevada Teen Ranch as a Christian residential treatment center in Reno.
