“Ranger Riley,” as he’s been affectionately known for years, started his new position as senior director of homes for the WinShape Foundation on June 1 and will oversee the organization’s foster home program, homes child placement agency and independent living program.
During his nearly 20 years at the Alabama Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries (ABCH), Riley Green, who most recently served as vice president of administration, was indirectly involved in every aspect of the Alabama Baptist entity. He began working at ABCH as a development officer.
He got his nickname, “Ranger Riley,” from his leadership at ABCH’s Camp of Champions, where he served as camp director for 16 years.
“A lot of the kids we serve at ABCH have never had real, good family memories. So when they came to camp for many of them it was their first camp experience. It’s a big, great event in their life. And watching kids come in that may be apprehensive at first, or not smiling, then see them later just having a blast was always awesome,” Green said.
As for foster and house parents working through ABCH, Green said, “Their willingness to take care of the kids in their homes is humbling. It has been a delight to partner with them to do their work better and I look forward to doing that through WinShape.”
Green holds a doctorate from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; a master’s degree from Beeson Divinity School at Samford University in Birmingham; and a bachelor’s degree from Troy University.
He and his wife, Yvonne, are members of The Church at Brook Hills, Birmingham, and have three children.
