This great organization has begun over 25 years ago to provide therapeutic and recreational riding abilities to both adults and children. With the motion of the horses, they are able to feel a sense of security, relaxation, along with stretching muscles that have not had an opportunity otherwise. This is a non-profit organization that offers opportunities for people of all ages to help increase confidence and self esteem located in the Freeland Area.
The meaning behind this organization is to help those with disabilities to get the sense of balance, strength , mobility/sensory input and motivation. The instructor is NARHA and 4-H certified and trained to work with various disabilities.
EHRSC are looking for volunteers to help with their cause. Those interested should have some knowledge of horses, but not totally required. Since this is a non-profit organization, all donations are accepted. Fundraisers are completed to help purchase new items for the equipment needed to support those riding.
Brochures are being prepared to help get the awareness of this great cause so those that would like to have a chance to enjoy horseback riding along with strengthening their muscles may do so. An additional brochure will be available for those interested in sponsorship and fundraisers that will be needed.

Service Learning
After reading information regarding Service Learning..the realization was this is another way of saying Training within an educational setting.
There was an article that talks about proper use of this tool to help teach others what needs to take place. Everyone learns differently. There are some that can read what and how to accomplish the needs of the business and fulfill their obligation with no problems. Then there are those that will learn with the 'hands on' approach. Put it front of them and explain the concept and the whys, let them practice for clarity.
After the initial section of service learning (training) has been successfully completed, continue to followup to ensure proper assessment of their tasks remain in tact. Constant training will allow employees continual understanding of their responsibilities.

Do's and Don'ts of Social and Professional Networking
Do:
Interact---get your name out there through internet sources...Facebook, Twitter. As you go through these sites, be picky about whom you follow. Keep within your realm of likes and dislikes.
Do all you can to set yourself apart from everyone else.
Post relevant and helpful information--Share any knowledge or experience you may have. Present it in a way to be helpful, not self-promoting or critical of others.
Don't
Use foul language---Keep all postings clean and professional. Just the way you want to be presented or remembered.
Use inappropriate photos---People go on the internet often. If there are photos that would misrepresent you, these need to be removed. Potential employers may see these and decide not to hire you even though these were not as they seemed.
Make negative comments about previous employers----Potential employers will see any bad comments you place on these sites. If you begin to talk negatively about the past employers, what will you say about any future ones.
Share too much information--People tend to share more information on the internet than they would in person. They feel more comfortable speaking through a keyboard than to someones face. Placing too much information about yourself online could also hurt any chances of an interview.

3. What do you look for in a job?
Keep answers pertaining to the position or organization. Answers like, “I like people" will not get you far. Give answers that will be related to opportunities rather than personal security.
