Now to Boulder City, where for nearly 58 years, St. Jude's Ranch for Children has been helping children and young adults here in Southern Nevada.

I recently took a trip to this beautiful campus where a new CCSD school, the first of its kind, is set to open later this fall.

(Christina Vela) And the interior of the, of the community is a big healing garden.

And out in the garden, there will be beautiful, you know, pieces of nature, a beautiful heart sculpture that we had a local artisan welder create for us, because we want our young people to know they're loved no matter where they are in their journey.

-Love, hope, and healing at the forefront of a new addition to St. Jude's Ranch for Children in Boulder City.

The Healing Center, still under construction, is the first of its kind in the nation.

-And certainly Southern Nevada is, you know, is a hot spot, if you will, for child sex trafficking for all kinds of reasons.

And yet they're still, up until today, there's very little to no resources for child victims of trafficking and that it just made sense for us to take a step forward and say we could create a place that doesn't exist yet.

And I can't believe we're sitting in one of the most amazing buildings.

-That amazing building, a new CCSD school, also a first of its kind.

(Amy Manning) So part of the process of healing is connecting your mind to your body, because that gets disconnected in trauma.

So exercise helps you bring that back.

And so we'll have a teacher that's going to do CrossFit.

Myself and my counselor are yoga certified, so we can do yoga with the students.

We took a 500-hour class.

-Principal Amy Manning made it her mission to hire the right team for a school that's nontraditional.

-We also wanted people who were very compassionate and had a real story and a reason why they wanted to help this particular population.

So they may not be necessarily related to anyone that has sex trafficking, but there was something in their upbringing that had this calling that they again wanted to give back to their community or felt there was this experience in their life they could connect with one of our students or more.

-The school's motto, "Be the Light."

-It's very special, because they've been in very dark places.

And so we want to help them start to be their own light, but also be the light for each other in their process of healing.

-Also ready to get to work and help students heal, another bright light at this very special school, Maggie, the therapy dog.

So very sweet.

And no doubt that Maggie and all of the caring teachers and staff will make a difference in the lives of these deserving students.

The new school is set to open in November and will be able to welcome up to 60 students.

We wish them the very best.
