Description
Strides is a non-profit organization that strives to enhance the lives of people of all ages and disabilities. Riders come from throughout the Columbia Basin region to interact with their 1,000 pound "therapist" in a safe and secure environment while achieving goals they never before dreamed possible. Strides's focus is not on their limitations, but what they can do, and the results are extraordinary.
We rely on the critical support of our volunteers . Our programs would not be possible without the generosity of all these wonderful people. We encourage volunteers to work regularly with the same students, providing continuity and support for the rider and an opportunity for the volunteer to share in the rider’s accomplishments. Volunteers also help with events, fund development, administration and other activities.
