TEEN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

This is an experiential program designed to develop positive leadership qualities in youth between the ages of 13 – 18. 

Please reach out to Valerie at 570-578-6377 for more information. 

This program is ideal for use by schools and community based organizations. Students and their teachers (and/or counselors) incorporate an equine facilitated learning experience using groundwork exercises and activities with the horses to address their academic needs and social behaviors. These “hands on” exercises and activities are designed to help adolescents build self-esteem, increase skills in safety, judgment, and awareness of self and the external environment, gain confidence and leadership skills, improve emotional self-regulation, and develop team building skills. Horses respond to our behavior and provide us with honest and clear feedback about ourselves. It’s the insight adolescents, in particular, need in order to develop skills critical for success in their everyday lives. This program enhances classroom discussions and collaborative reflections through the experiential learning that takes place in this unique environment.

Integrated Extended Day Teen Leadership Program

This is a 5 hour weekend and/or summer day program. The focus is on developing those skills as described above in the self-leadership program. Adolescents with teachers, adult sponsors, or counselors incorporate an equine facilitated learning experience using groundwork exercises with mindful, collaborative, nature-based art activities. Both equine exercises and art activities are designed to promote positive changes in their social behavior and exposes them to elements of nature that they may not be able to otherwise experience.
