Review for Protect Yourself 1, Inc, Parkton, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I volunteered over two weekends with Project Arrowhead, a project of Protect Yourself 1, in the summer of 2011. I watched Jean Albert Renaud, or JAR, work with youth from Washington, DC, and teach them how to respect, handle, and ride horses. JAR is magical to watch, with both kids and horses. He speaks their language. It was clear that the experience was transformative for the young people -- their faces lit up as soon as they climbed atop a horse! The program also included education on AIDS prevention., and the youth seemed to be quite engaged with this educational piece. PY1 and Project Arrowhead provide a unique and inspirational adventure for the youth and for everyone involved.
