Leadership Program
It's boots on the ground and hands-on the horses for our Key Leadership Team!
Welcome to Our Key Leadership Program
Parents and kids don't always know where to go or how to get started discovering and building on their innate leadership traits. So, we've created an effective program to help youth build a solid foundation in leadership through real-life practices in our horsemanship services.
Our program teaches skills such as self-governance, self-control, influencing others, and building community in a safe, professional, and inclusive environment.
There are two main streams within our
Key Leadership Team Program
1. Leadership Assistant (LA) Position
Designed for youth who are interested in developing their leadership and horsemanship skills, the LA position offers a supported path into leadership at Clip Clop. After completing the LA Self-Nomination, Orientation and Training, Leadership Assistants serve in both our year-round riding lesson program and summer camps. They play an important role mentoring younger riders and volunteers, assisting with hands-on horse activities, and upholding safety and Clip Clop SOPs.
The Shift Assistant (SA) Position
This position is for LA's who have graduated through the LA Program and are ready to prepare for the employment program. This is a mentorship program and prepares the leader for employment.
(People who ride in our programs are given first priority on leadership positions.)
2. Summer Camp Volunteer Position
As a Summer Camp Volunteer, participants assist with horse-themed and non-horse themed activities during our summer horsemanship camps and support in the overall delivery of the program while learning about and loving horses and developing fantastic life skills.
With the opportunity to be outside on the farm and learning about horsemanship, responsibility, leadership, teamwork, and more, our volunteers gain valuable experience in a fun and supportive environment.
Go to our Leadership Team About Us Page to learn about how Horsemanship through Leadership creates a positive impact on youth in the areas of self-actualization, self-control, bully management, self worth, fitness and much more!
