Multiple volunteer opportunities including:
BARN Volunteers assist with barn chores including stall, paddock and lot clean up; horse turnout; feeding. Mornings &/or evenings.
PROGRAM Volunteers assist instructors with class prep, cleanup and monitoring students. Typical tasks include gathering and setting out materials, walking horses to the arena, and helping students with water, breaks, etc. Much of the time during class is spent observing the activities.

Mission Statement
Mission: To improve the social, emotional, and behavioral development of children and youth through quality therapeutic and educational equine programs.
Description
Using a strength-based, experiential approach, LEAD provides structure and guidance to assist young people in finding their own solutions and inspiration. Our short-term goal is to provide youth an opportunity to explore and learn in a non-threatening atmosphere with positive peer interactions and caring adults. Our long-term goal is to help them develop critical life skills to build resilience. We want youth to leave LEAD with Horses better equipped to problem-solve, manage stress, reach personal goals, and improve social interactions.
LEAD with Horses nurtures and cultivates the strengths and abilities of our children and youth -- to realize the promise of individuals and the collective community. Our programs provide an emotional, physical, and intellectual experience. Horses build a stronger sense of self.
