Are you looking for a fun and meaningful way to spend your time this gardening season? Look no further than our non-profit counseling center in Arvada, CO!
Located on a beautiful 3-acre farm, our center is home to over 35 resident animals that have all been rescued or re-homed by us. These amazing creatures play a critical role in helping our clients overcome mental and behavioral health issues, many of whom are under the age of 18 and have suffered abuse or trauma.
To continue providing this vital service to our community, we're seeking a small team of dedicated volunteers to help us with garden maintenance. Your efforts will help us prepare for the upcoming growing season, and ensure that we have fresh, healthy produce to feed our furry friends throughout the spring and summer.
No experience is necessary - just a willingness to learn and a passion for gardening. As a volunteer, you'll assist with general garden duties such as planting, watering, weeding, pruning, deadheading, and leaf collection.
Join us today and help us create a beautiful and bountiful garden that nourishes the ranch!

Mission Statement
At AATPC, we believe that everyone deserves access to the healing power of animals. Our mission is to provide animal-assisted psychotherapy to clients of all ages, regardless of income level, insurance status, or life circumstances. On a 3-acre ranch in Arvada, CO serves as the perfect setting for our unique type of counseling. With the assistance of our recused therapy animals - including dogs, cats, horses, goats, rabbits, and even rats - clients work in partnership with these animals and a therapist to achieve their therapy goal
Description
Since our founding in 2010 by Linda Chassman and Ellen Winston, we have remained committed to helping those in need. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, we are able to make our services accessible to all, including those who may not have the means to pay. Our program is specifically designed to serve economically, physically, and/or mentally disadvantaged individuals and families.
In addition to our animal-assisted psychotherapy services, we also offer professional training, in-person trainings, an online Certificate in Animal Assisted Psychotherapy, agency consultation and training, and group or individual consultation.
We invite you to come experience the powerful healing effect of our therapy animals and join us in our mission to make the benefits of animal-assisted psychotherapy accessible to all.
