The mission of the Harvesting Occupational and Personal Excellence (HOPE) Program at Allaire Community Farm is to provide an integrated approach to supporting individuals to develop functional socialization and work skills.
The HOPE Program was developed to provide our Interns with a solid foundation in which to develop pre-vocational skills. The foundation of the program is to identify and nurture the communication skills, social skills and self regulatory/executive functioning skills, which are essential for competitive employment. Our Interns develop these skills while working on a variety of tasks on the farm. Lessons are taught daily to support each area of work. Individualized goals and objectives are utilized to monitor their progress. Progress is evaluated by informal assessment and task analysis.
Begin or enhance your child’s horse association with participation in a program that will safely ensure the ability to control a horse, (on or off lead) through the trot. In the event of inclement weather, unmounted activities may include: how to groom, saddle, bridle, and identify the parts of the horse as well as the riding equipment. Proper footwear is required. Helmets are available.
Are you an adult who wants to get back on the saddle? We also offer a 1-hour adult class that goes through horse care, grooming, tacking and riding.
