At Abbey Gardens we are mindful that youth are the future for successful community development and sustainability and want to provide individuals a chance to develop applicable skills to better suit their role as community leaders. The Abbey Gardens’ Leader in Training (LIT) program provides opportunities for individuals who are 15-17 years of age to develop leadership skills under the supervision of our programming team. A one-day orientation program on Thursday June 27, Take the integrating our rare breed horses and Equine Assisted Learning programming provides participants is an opportunity to become familiar with, and develop, leadership styles and skills. Assisting programming staff for a week or more during Abbey Gardens’ summer camps allows participants to strengthen and build on these skills.
