We are dedicated to creating opportunities for everyone in our community to experience the joys of horseback riding and the great outdoors. Horses and humans thrive together, forging deep connections and life-changing experiences. Our vision is to create a thriving community where people, even underserved and disadvantaged, can connect with nature, horses, and each other. We aspire to be a hub of harmony and inclusion, empowering individuals through horsemanship to develop confidence, compassion, and unity between humans and nature. Rooted in Unity exists to provide affordable horseback riding lessons and horsemanship experiences to those in our community who may not have access to such opportunities. Through our program, we aim to nurture personal growth, foster connections, and instill practical and life-enriching skills in an inclusive and welcoming environment.

Volunteers will assist program staff by helping to set up and organize activities, engaging with children to foster an inclusive and supportive environment, and ensuring smooth transitions between activities. They may also help care for the equestrian facility's general barn chores by tidying up spaces, preparing equipment, and assisting with basic horse care under supervision. This unique opportunity allows students to build leadership skills, contribute to their community, and gain meaningful experience working with children and adults while supporting a program that celebrates unity and inclusion.
