To support local communities and to prepare the next generation of community health and citizen service leaders, Horseshoe Farm created a pioneering one-year educational grant supported Community Health Fellowship for top recent college graduates. Fellows live together in housing provided by Horseshoe Farm as they work together on teams with other outstanding Fellows and Interns. They volunteer in Horseshoe Farm’s service programs that provide relationship-based support to children, adults living with mental illness, seniors, and other vulnerable individuals. They get to know people, organizations, families, leaders, and others as they live and learn in one of our three wonderful partner communities. They receive ongoing teaching and mentorship through individual and team meetings, readings, and discussions to help them see context of, reflect on, and deepen their experiential learning. Fellows gain a practical appreciation of how their efforts and sacrifice contribute to the health and quality of life of our vulnerable neighbors and to a broader framework of community health.
