Mission Statement
Ivey Ranch Park is dedicated to encourage the interaction of those of all ages, with and without disabilities, by providing educational and recreational activities. Since 1983 we have served children and adults with disabilities but will not exclude the able-bodied, since integration, inclusion and interaction are important components of our program. Serving over 200 individuals a month, our essential goals are: community integration and participation, personal choice, self-respect and respect for others, competence and self reliance. Currently over two thirds of our clients here at Ivey Ranch Park have moderate to severe disabilities which include behavioral disorders, genetic disorders, and disabilities caused by accident or trauma. School age children come for after school, summer and off-track care. The Center also operates an equestrian facility, in-home respite services, and a Community Garden.

I have been volunteering at Ivey Ranch for three years now. Not only do they have a wonderful and helpful staff that is always excited to recieve new volunteers but their horses are all very sweet and all love to be papered. Since Ivey Ranch is a theriputic barn, on certain days of the week there are oportunities for you to volunteer with our disabled riders. In short, Ivey Ranch is a wonderful place, and it is an amazing way to reach out to our community and volunteer.
