Mission Statement
Since 1988, Compton Jr Posse (CJP) has used equine science and horse related activities as a leadership development program, providing a year round after school program that teaches youth the value of hard work and education, so they can give back to their families, communities and to society in general.
Description
The CJP provides a safe haven for youth. Youth improve social, emotional & communication skills and receive academic support and develop leadership skills through an award winning horse riding program. CJP was awarded the Silver Medal from the Governor’s Council on physical fitness, based on how riding horses improves physical, emotional and psychological health.
