Our corporate volunteer program is up and running, launched by a volunteer project coordinated by Leadership Bend and the Deschutes Brewery. It was amazing to see Deschutes Brewery's spirit of volunteerism as their team of volunteers reworked the Healing Reins Sensory Integration Trail.

The trail opens up endless lesson opportunities for Healing Reins riders with sensory perception challenges. With the safety improvements and the creative additions that the team thought up, riders are having fun and learning new skills while on the trail. The model that Leadership Bend created will help Volunteer Connect coordinate similar volunteering projects engaging corporations and non-profits in the future.
