Overview

Mission

Endeavor therapeutic horsemanship inc.'s mission is to empower individuals with a broad range of needs by providing the highest quality equine-assisted services in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Equine-assisted learning: under the careful guidance of our equine-assisted learning program manager, the equine- assisted learning program has grown and now serves students from a range of schools each year. In the grant year, endeavor offered equine-assisted learning opportunities to 162 students to practice skills critical to success in the classroom and beyond. Embedded within endeavor's philosophy as equine-assisted educators is an understanding that all students are different and have unique strengths and areas for growth. Before any school group attends endeavor, our instructors will discuss goals with the classroom teacher(s) and tailor sessions accordingly. This might mean a shift towards social-emotional learning or opportunities to apply what is being studied in the classroom allowing concepts to come to life through real world applications at the farm. Prison program endeavor partners with bedford hills and taconic correctional facilities, offering weekly visits to provide ground horsemanship programming for incarcerated individuals. Our program serves cohorts of eight participants, delivering a 10-week curriculum focused on the elite grooming vocational skills. Upon request, an endeavor social worker joins the program to provide additional mental health support. Through these initiatives, we equip participants with valuableskills, foster confidence, and help build a network for future employment opportunities.
