Hope Project STL is a nonprofit organization dedicated to healing and connection through the power of horses. This Saturday, theyāre opening their gates for a very special volunteer orientation.
š Join Us This Saturday
š Saturday, September 20
š 9:00 AM ā 12:00 PM
This three-hour session is a chance to learn more about the mission of Hope Project STL and discover how you can be part of it. Volunteers are at the heart of everything they do, and there are opportunities for just about every skill set and personality type.
š Healing with Horses
Hope Project STL uses equine-assisted learning and therapy programs to help those who have sacrificed so much for us ā veterans, first responders, and their families. Horses have a unique way of sensing emotions, breaking down barriers, and offering comfort in ways words sometimes cannot.
The farm provides a safe and supportive environment where participants can build trust, confidence, and resilience. Each interaction is a reminder of how powerful the human-animal bond can be.
š Ways You Can Help
Whether youāre looking to roll up your sleeves or support from behind the scenes, thereās a place for you at Hope Project STL:
Horse Care: Grooming, feeding, and keeping the herd healthy and happy.
Cleaning & Maintenance: Helping care for the barns, pastures, and facilities so programs run smoothly.
Hospitality: Greeting visitors, lending a hand during events, and ensuring a welcoming environment.
Special Events: Pitching in during fundraisers, community days, or outreach events.
Fundraising: Supporting the organizationās mission by helping secure resources and spreading the word.
Every volunteer hour makes a tangible difference ā for the horses, and for the people they help.
