Volunteer to help prepare for and participate in summer Kids Camps. We have 5 week long day camps and 5 Saturday day camps in the fall. We especially need people who are available during the days of the Kids Camps, but we also need help preparing and careing for horses and setting up and cleaning up after each camp day. Horse experience is necessary for certain activities but not for others. We also work with other animals during camps such as dogs, goats and maybe a rabbit or two.
We always need people to help with chores and handy type jobs. We have a foreage system for our horses that allows us to grow food for our horses hydroponically during the winter. This would be a great project for someone in 4-H or FFA to help with.
If you are better working inside than outside there are other opportunities. If you have skills to help with fundraising and events, we would love to hear from you.

Mission Statement
To foster healing and life enhancement skills for challenged youths and veterans through the human/horse connection. To increase the perceived value of horses. To promote the welfare of wild and domestic horses.
Description
The I Am Magic Foundation uses Equine Assisted Learning (EAL) to help area youth and veteran groups overcome challenges and lead more productive lives. We use horses because they are excellent mirrors of human emotion. As prey animals, they are hyperaware of their environment and those in it. In their herds, partnership, leadership and a strong sense of community are essential to survival.
Partnership
We work with horses in ways that horses want to work with us. It is a relationship born of partnership rather than control and dominance. We believe that learning to partner with horses brings out the best performance in both people and horses and is a cooperative skill that transfers to relationships people have with others as well.
Leadership
The language of horses is leadership. In their herd, they simply want to know where they fit in the hierarchy. As people working with horses, we want to establish a leadership role with our horses based on trust and mutual consideration that our horses respect.
Community
Horses, companion animals and people are social creatures. A key to successful living is knowing how to get along in our social groups or community and have a sense of purposeful living. All people and animals have special gifts. No one is good at everything, but everyone is good at something. It is your "magic" or special talents that make you uniquely valuable and collectively powerful.
