AERO is dedicated to
providing community outreach and we've tailored many programs to
reach out to a diverse population for education, awareness, and
service. Some of our programs include Youth Volunteer Day,
Education Workshops, and a host for other equine community service
and education programs. We feel ea
ch of these programs offer a
unique experience for the participants to increase their awareness
of horses, as well as themselves. Most of our programs, though
directly involved with horses, can be applied in many situations in
our day-to-day lives whether at home, at school, at work, or in the
community. Take a moment to review our programs and we hope
you'll sign up for your unique experience!
Kids
Make a Difference!
Part of our youth program at AERO is to provide a means for youth to
volunteer at the facility to strengthen the out-of-school experience
and have access to a mentorship program. We sponsor these
events once every other month, and they're open to youth and
adolescents who wish to come and help! The volunteer
activities include grooming the horses, helping to tend
wounds/bandaging, and hand-walk exercises with the horse.
These activities provide the means for the youth to learn improved
communication and body language, how to be assertive in a positive
way, and the experience of providing compassionate care to another
being. >> sign up

Equine
Massage Students at AERO
AERO
is proud to partner with the Arizona Institute of Equine Massage for
the use of our

to work with the horses as they learn massage techniques during
their 200-hour course. And, the horses at AERO get therapeutic
benefits and always feel great afterwards!
