Summer Intensives
Youth Leadership Program
In Partnership with Missoula YMCA. Summer 2020
Leadership programs have helped many adolescents, including troubled teens and low-income youth. Effective leadership programs can help youth gain confidence in their ability to do a job well. They learn to manage people and their responsibilities. When they succeed, their confidence grows.
Horse-Assisted (or Equine-Assisted) Learning is proving to be a potent, impactful modality for helping at-risk and troubled youth. Studies have shown that spending time with a domesticated animal like a horse, can reduce stress and help individuals cope with emotional trauma. This interaction with a horse helps to build focus, self-awareness, leadership, and produces marked and positive results. Horses provide an unconditional, non-judgmental and honest platform, fundamental to healing the mind and the soul, especially critical for troubled and at-risk youth and those who have come from often dysfunctional, disengaged home environments as well as those who have developed emotional and psychological hurdles and challenges in facing everyday life. This Leadership Curriculum layers the focus on humans, horses and habits and combines the Wild2Ride 5Cs of Leadership to build trust and be comfortable with vulnerability.
