Circle of Hope: Therapeutic Riding Center

Did you know that you can use your community service hours to try out potential career paths and college majors? 

Interested in any of the following: physical therapy, occupational therapy, medicine, psychology, sociology, social work, athletic training, veterinary work,  non-profit development, fundraising, teaching, marketing, public relations, or event planning?

Apply to volunteer with Circle of Hope, an organization that uses riding or equine therapy to encourage the physical and mental development of children and adults with developmental, psychological, or physical disabilities.

Therapeutic riding was first introduced in the United States in the late 1960s. The approach utilizes instruction in horseback riding and horsemanship skills to assist children and adults with developmental, psychological, or physical disabilities.
