The focus of Take Flight Farms is to create a community service
circle involving horses, people facing special challenges, and members
of the community who have special resources to share. Each participant
in the circle has something to offer and ultimately benefits in
return, enriching the entire community.

The participants, in addition to benefiting from their interaction with the horses, gain self-esteem by completing a service project for the horses or the hosting facility sometime during the program. As well, volunteers are an integral part of Take Flight Farms. High school students with horse experience help with the programs and receive service hours required for graduation. University students have received credit as interns, either working directly with the programs or providing capacity building projects such as volunteer recruitment and screening programs, and database design. |
