It takes a village to do what we do and we’re so fortunate ours is so wonderful!
We are currently working on moving our volunteer orientation online and offering a hands-on training once a month for new and returning volunteers! At Reach 4a Star, we would not be able to serve our community without the help of volunteers and we truly appreciate the time and dedication that it takes from them! 

Stay tuned for more information, and if you have any questions about volunteering with us, please reach out!
Did you know?

Reach 4A Star offers a veterans' program. Equine assisted services are a proven effective way to help people. As quoted by one of our veteran participants, "When I got to see the horses and walk in the midst of the majestic, beautiful creatures, I found that elusive element I have been chasing...peace."
We never charge veterans or their immediate family for services thru our veterans' program and our ability to offer this is solely based on funding we receive.
Please join us in welcoming our newly elected Board Members Marilyn Walker, Angie Hayes, Nikki Sweets & Christi Bayer!

2022 Session Dates
This year, to expand on our existing camps working with Hospice (Grief Camp) & Girl Scouts (Leadership Camps), we will be offering 8 specialized day-camps serving 10 individuals each on Saturdays between July 5th- September 3rd. These day camps will be focused on mental health for at-risk & marginalized community members, Using the power of the horse to help them learn more about themselves but also to learn some life skills that they can take outside the arena and apply to their everyday life.
Health and Safety
The health and safety of everyone at Reach 4A Star is important to us! In keeping everyone safe, we ask our Therapists, Instructors Volunteers & Clients to follow Health Department guidelines if you may have been exposed to Covid or have any symptoms of any contagious illness. Some of our clients have conditions that make it impossible to keep a mask on so we ask our staff and volunteers who will be within 6 feet of others to wear a mask while they are working with clients.
Stay Safe
