Join us!

This interactive workshop is designed for nonprofit professionals who are ready to “level up” in every aspect of their organization’s impact. Together, we’ll explore how to lead with intention, build a culture of trust and respect, strengthen fundraising strategies, retain dedicated volunteers, and optimize community engagement. Whether you’re guiding a team, cultivating donors, or managing day-to-day operations, you’ll leave with practical tools and fresh ideas to help your nonprofit thrive.

Something for everyone! 

New in this fourth installment of our workshop, we have organized the content to cater to unique needs and budgets.  Join us for the whole weekend, or build your experience ala carte!  Can't make it in person? Don't worry, you can get in on the development virtually. 

Friday, October 3rd will focus on global non-profit topics. This day is a great option for any professional that wants to "level up" their impact - not just those in EAS.  Expect to hear from industry experts and opportunity for personal growth with the partnership of our mini horses! 

Saturday, October 4th will continue the non-profit focus with additional session options that align with the equine-assisted services industry- including exploration of additional EAL activities you can take home to your team! 

Sunday, October 5th is reserved for optional one-on-one mentorship time.  Reserve a time slot Sunday morning to discuss specific issues or receive additional guidance from HETRA staff on topics of your choice! 

*As a bonus - we are also offering a saddle fit clinic on Sunday, should any EAS centers want to maximize their learning for the weekend! This opportunity is included in all Sunday registrations.

Sunday, October 5th

We have opened Sunday morning for optional one-on-one mentoring with the HETRA staff that best fits your needs. This is a great opportunity for additional development before you hit the road back home!  Mentorship also includes limited email communication with your mentor following the workshop.

8:00 - 9:00 AM or 9:00 - 10:00 AM sessions are available.

This opportunity is included with full registration and Sunday registrations.    

BONUS

Sunday - Saddle Fit Clinic

Are you an EAS professional attending the workshop who wants to maximize your education? 

Come learn a very practical approach to saddle fitting that HETRA uses quarterly to assess our herd. We know a healthy back is imperative for our horses, but buying a fully custom saddle is not practical or within the budget.

What You Can Expect:

• Hands-on experience troubleshooting a variety of saddles to horses of different shapes and sizes.
• Multiple horse/facilitator teams available for clarity and questions.
• Leave the session feeling confident in your ability to feel what properly fitting tack should be!

This opportunity is included with full registration and Sunday registrations.
