Boston Mountain Youth Ranch is looking for volunteer mentors for our horse-based mentoring program. We practice and teach social, emotional, and life skills within a faith-based context.

In our volunteer training program, we teach our volunteers to understand:

  • the neurobiology of trauma and of relationships

  • how the brain develops optimally in response to healthy, connected relationships

  • how trauma and toxic stress negatively impacts our relationships with ourselves and others

  • how to identify relationship patterns by learning how to partner with a horse - we can't change what we don't notice, and the horse provides a relationship with clear feedback to help us learn to heal and grow for both the mentor and the child

  • how to practice and form new behaviors and healthier patterns by practicing new behaviors in relationship with your horse

  • how to experience a deeper connection to self and others as these new ways of being and interacting are reinforced

About BOSTON MOUNTAIN YOUTH RANCH FOUNDATION

Location:

1450 W GALLOP LN, FAYETTEVILLE, AR 72701, US

Mission Statement

Our purpose is to provide a positive, safe and structured equestrian and farm environment for struggling, at-risk and disadvantaged children so that children and their families can experience the unconditional love of Jesus. We believe in healing hearts and sharing hope to hurting children and their families through mentorship services and activities.

Description

Our volunteer training program covers many aspects of what we do at the ranch and why we do things the way we do. We apply the latest trauma-informed guidance when it comes to interacting with guests, volunteers, staff and our equine partners. All of our volunteers attend a training on the foundational principles and core values at BMYR. Our mentors don't just pour themselves into our kiddos, but we also spend a lot of time investing in our volunteers as well. We want to utilize our program to build them up in ways that will benefit them in their lives outside the ranch.
