We need two people who have construction and farm maintenance skills as their background. All our farm equipment- tractor, manure spreader, Zero turn, and Gator are John Deere. We are approximately 12 acres with all electric fencing. This position is ideal for a retired active person who wants to remain young physically and young at heart in doing something useful that will benefit at risk children and who loves animals of all kinds as well as just being part of a farm environment. Knowledge of how to muck a stall would not hurt either. The barn has a nice heated bathroom , hot water, tack and feed room as well as 6 stalls and 4 run in sheds. We look forward to your joining us to make a real lifetime difference in the lives of many foster children that come to Jesse's Place.

About JESSES PLACE FOUNDATION
Location:
6505 GRIFFITH LAKE DR, MILFORD, DE 19963, US
Mission Statement
Jesse's Place Foundation, a 501 (C)(3) nonprofit corporation serves children of all ages in or from the Foster Care system who have suffered trauma by helping to build self esteem and self worth through using rescued horses and rescued therapy dogs.
Description
Jesse's Place was preceded by another nonprofit that I founded and successfully operated for over 12 years which utilized rescued horses to help in recovery of PTSD people of all ages. I retired that nonprofit in order to become a therapeutic foster mom. Now some years later I have begun Jesse's Place to bring hope and healing to foster kids and named it in honor of my foster son, Jesse.
Our programs are age and ability appropriate and include team and confidence building activities with the horses and therapy dogs along with art, music and drama therapy.
