About

BINA Farm Center brings together individuals with and without special needs by offering a variety of inclusive enrichment programs that help them to both thrive personally and make their best contribution towards the communities in which they live. BINA provides a comprehensive therapeutic and recreational environment utilizing Equine-Assisted Activities and Therapies, Vocational Training Programs and Creative and Complementary Therapies for children and adults with physical, developmental and emotional challenges.

BINA Farm Center has an ongoing need for volunteers to support its programs and facility. Youth ages 14 and up and who are able to work independently are able to volunteer weekly supporting our program. Volunteers under age 14 are warmly welcomed to our quarterly Family and Friends service events as many hands make light work keeping up our property. Students seeking community service opportunities are also welcomed.
