I wanted to post this opportunity which some students have done in the past. It's the "Equestrian Connection." It is located right in Lake Forest. They provide horse therapy for individuals who have special needs. They have flexible hours including after school and on weekends. Here is their location and contact info:

The volunteer coordinator is named "MJ". She is familiar with SHS. If you contact her please be polite and professional. If you volunteer please work hard and enjoy yourself there. They are a nice connection for SHS students and we want to keep that relationship going!
