Volunteering
Volunteering Can be Many Things for Many People
For a Young Person
It can fulfil a curriculum requirement.
Provide skills and experience for a post-secondary application.
Help with a career or education decision making process.
For someone changing careers
A volunteer experience can help you build new skills that can help in a job hunt.
It’s a great way to avoid a ‘gap’ on your resume.
Keep some structure and routine in your suddenly-empty daytime schedule.

“The motivating belief is that therapy through horseback riding is one of the more progressive forms of therapy, offering empowerment and inspiring self-confidence, a sense of responsibility and teamwork. Most importantly, riding is a FUN way to receive therapy!”
