ANDREW WOESSNER, TREASURER
Andrew served as Project Horse's Board Chair since the organization's founding, in 2008. Andrew was pleased to move into the role of Treasurer at the beginning of 2019.
Our wellness groups are accessible, fun and supportive but require no on-going commitment. Attending a group wellness workshop is an easy way to de-stress, practice justbeing, and enjoy horse-time while connecting with others.
We are very pleased to share very positive early results from our new suicide crisis intervention! REACH (Rapidly Engaging Adolescents in Crisis with Horses) is innovative and effective, helping quickly stabilize teens in distress by partnering them with horses and teaching them useful DBT coping skills.
Project Horse is a volunteer-led nonprofit, and our horses and economically-challenged clients rely on the generosity of donors like you to help support programs.
