My Nonprofit Reviews

The first time I visited Rose of Sharon I knew I had found a special place, Just walking through the barn and seeing the horses has an immediate calming effect and I (as a volunteer) always leave with a sense of well-being. This effect is carried through to the students that visit. By working with the horses and the wonderful owner Joan I see the students gain self-confidence, and better people skills. I have watched a student go from standing in the corner to making jokes and holding entire conversations with others.
Joan is one of the most passionate and compassionate persons that I have ever meet. She deeply and truly cares for the animals and the people that she meets. She and the school have a deep impact on all the people that interact with them.
