What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Equine Assisted Learning Mentoring Program

Home Base Ranch serves under-served at-risk teens and pre-teens. Our local population includes 12.2% of families living in poverty. 38.6% of our population identifies as a race other than white. We provide mentoring programs for teens & pre-teens whose families cannot afford private services & are at-risk of failing or school expulsion.

The two core components of our program are
1. Equine assisted learning - Working with 1,000-pound animals requires self-awareness & emotional regulation. Mentees learn to be assertive, calm & kind with horses – skills transferable to human interactions
2. Facilitated integration groups - Mentees learn to identify & state what they are feeling, resolve conflicts, & practice the interpersonal skills learned by working with the horses

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Home Base Ranch is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to young people’s futures. We mentor at-risk youth towards a happy, healthy life - regardless of their ability to pay. Through our equine assisted learning programs mentees learn to regulate emotions, value themselves & others, and take responsibility for their actions.

The two core components of our program are:

1. Equine assisted learning - Working with 1,000-pound animals requires self-awareness & emotional regulation. Mentees learn to be assertive, calm & kind with horses – skills transferable to human interactions.

2. Facilitated integration groups - Mentees meet in mixed gender groups to learn to identify & state what they are feeling, resolve conflicts, & practice the interpersonal skills learned by working with the horses.

Our program and mentoring team is comprised of highly skilled facilitators with at least 25 years experience each.

Students in alternative learning classes due to behavior, failing grades, or other challenges return to their mainstream classes about 98% of the time.

Parents report improved grades, attitudes and emotional intelligence.
