Ignite Your Spark
For the entire month of May we are raising funds with the Horses for Mental Health Campaign!
Join us in our mission to support mental health by Donating Here. All funds donated through our portal will go towards Unbridled Spirit's programs.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 1 in 5 adults in the US experiences mental illness in a given year. The Seen Through Horses Campaign offers a unique path to healing. Your donation will directly support innovative mental health and well-being services. These programs partner individuals with horses and professional facilitators to foster a powerful connection that promotes emotional well-being, reduces stress, builds confidence, and so much more.
WAYS TO VOLUNTEER
MENTOR
Our mentor team is comprised of a diverse group of persons from various socio-economic backgrounds and life stories. We have enthusiastic community-minded volunteers: retired teachers and nurses who spent their careers guiding youth and families, business people, and people who have had their own life journey impacted in profound ways by the horses here.
Volunteers are always welcome! Unbridled Spirit has various ways that you can support our work with volunteering.
Our aging farm has ongoing projects that we always could use support with. Individuals can come out to the
farm to help with feeding or turning out horses, cleaning stalls or to do any specific projects.
Do you have a specific skill you think might be helpful? Please reach out!
If your group is looking for a project to help us out with, please contact molly@unbridledspirit.org
to arrange a time to discuss.
Thank you so much for your interest in volunteering at our farm. We are excited to get to know you and see how you might want to help Unbridled Spirit share this work.
