Foundation Grant Chair, Lisa McMullen, visited Learning 4 Life Farm to see the project-based grant funded by TCC.    Grant funds purchased alpacas for the pilot job training and alpaca therapy program and provides an initial portion of the veterinary care, feed, and medications.  Students in the job training program clean stalls, feed the alpacas and harvest flowers and vegetables.  Learning 4 Life Farm provides quality training for young people on the autism spectrum to prepare for meaningful employment in the community.   
 

June 19, 2023 – Dreams on Horseback
Foundation Board Members visited Dreams on Horseback Communication Summer Enhancement Camp funded by a TCC grant.  The children in the camp are challenged to examine horses’ nonverbal communication with one another and humans.  Via handler led rides, the children have an opportunity to give both non-verbal and verbal cues to the horse to help the child connect communication to getting their needs met.  Dreams on Horseback helps children with special needs tackle their individual challenges from atop one of our kind and gentle therapy horses.
