Galloping Grace Youth Ranch in Rio Rancho, NM is looking for volunteer Educators (teachers, education assistants, teaching specialists, teaching interns, college students in education, etc.) to oversee youth programs for children ages 4-11 during our weekly summer camps at the Ranch. Volunteers will work with 12 - 18 year-old Junior Leaders to build curriculum and educate the younger children. There is a week of training during the last week of May followed by 6 weeks of camp. Volunteers are welcome to work all or some of the 6 weeks.
Galloping Grace Youth Ranch is a fully sustainable non-profit ranch that diverts scrap food from grocery stores and food banks from going to landfills and uses it to feed our animals, including pigs, cattle, chickens, goats, lamas, horses and rabbits. Meat processed from our animals is donated to food banks and pantries. The earth is impacted, as food in landfills creates gases that are warming our planet. We divert over 2 million pounds of food from landfills to battle global warming and we help feed the hungry in NM. Most importantly we educate children on sustainable agriculture and develop children into leaders.More opportunities with Galloping Grace Youth Ranch

Mission Statement
Galloping Grace Youth Ranch is a place where kids lead kids while learning how to raise livestock, grow crops, explore the outdoors, and enrich the community.
Description
We are cultivating healthy children today so they will harvest a healthy society tomorrow.
Our purpose at Galloping Grace Youth Ranch is to bring pure joy to children. We believe that children experience Pure Joy from having fun while learning, interacting, leading, and serving. No matter what changes may occur in our programs, this central purpose will always run through the heart of our mission and will be the driving force and litmus test for everything we do.
Our organization will offer and promote programs in which children are involved in raising animals, growing crops, exploring the outdoors, and enhancing the community. GGYR will function as a working, sustainable farm/ranch, where children are empowered to lead, teach, work, and play alongside others. It is our firm belief that children learn best if they enjoy what they are doing. Because of this, we will strive to infuse joy into all of our activities.
