We work through referring agencies such as Raphael House Family
Shelter so that we can be sensitive to the changing needs
of the students and the community. Our feedback to the referring
agencies helps them track the progress and emotional well-being
of their clients. It also ensures that the students participating
in the program are the best suited to benefit from our services.
The referring agencies’ feedback helps us to constantly
improve our instruction model.
Our volunteers are our more experienced
students - teens from San Francisco and San Mateo County.
They work hard for the honor to work as a volunteer at Square
Pegs as it enables them to spend the day at a place and in
an activity that they are passionate about. In helping new
students learn the safety rules and in teaching the horse
care and horsemanship skills, they also grow in the powerful
role of teacher/mentor.
