At Blue Sky Acres we seek to help individuals reach goals they never thought possible
What we offer:
Confidence, trust, encouragement, hope, peace, a place to belong, and so much more… all through relationships. Our trained staff and volunteers seek to help our participants recognize the gifts and abilities that God has placed within them and call those things out so they can become all He has created them to be.
Our Programs
Blue Sky Moments
Horses can play a huge part in the healing process after trauma. Our program for children and teens that have experienced trauma as well as those with disabilities is the first of its kind in our area. We pair each child with a trained volunteer mentor and a horse. This allows them to build resilience through a committed relationship in order to move beyond the trauma they faced early in life.
Weekly sessions focus on building trust, understanding self-worth and who they are in Christ. Activities with the horse and one-on-one attention help develop responsibility, independence and personal growth.
Sessions are one hour each week and are completely on the ground, no riding is involved.
*Parents/caregivers are required to stay on the property.
Mentored Employment
We provide on-site employment and volunteer opportunities for individuals with special needs after high school graduation in order to help them build job skills and confidently enter the workforce. Each employee is paired with a job mentor that provides them with one-on-one support and supervision while promoting independence.
