Animal Lovers Volunteer Club
In this program, each youth is matched with an adult mentor who will work along side him/her to develop a friendship and facilitate reflection on how the experience they have together applies to real life. They might decide to clean the goat pen or halter and walk a mini horse. Cleaning a goat pen or walking a mini horse can teach us something about working hard, forming relationships and accepting difficult challenges. We can also have a lot of fun!
