We are thrilled to share some incredible news from our Safe Minds Community Center. Zach and Shawn, two dedicated participants in the program have been recognized as Volunteers of the Month at Ironstone Farm! This well-deserved honor highlights the remarkable contributions these two make every week as valued members of the Ironstone community.
Zach and Shawn travel to Ironstone Farm in Andover three times a week through our partnership, and their presence has quickly become an essential part of the farm’s daily duties. Whether they’re throwing hay, assisting with lunch feedings, grooming horses, or simply helping out wherever needed, Zach and Shawn show up ready to work with a smile and a positive attitude.
“Zach and Shawn show up ready to work, with huge smiles and an eagerness to learn,” shared Ironstone Farm in their social media announcement. “Their consistency, care for the horses, and positive presence make a meaningful difference here.”
At Incompass, we’ve always known how committed Zach and Shawn are to their work. Their recognition at Ironstone is a testament not only to their reliability, but to the values that drive our programs, community engagement, personal growth, and celebrating every individual’s strength and contribution.
Ironstone Farm is a therapeutic riding center known for its inclusive, welcoming environment. The partnership between Ironstone and Incompass has provided opportunity for Safe Minds participants to engage with animals, connect with others, and develop important life and vocational skills.
Please join us in congratulating Zach and Shawn on this well-earned recognition! We are so proud to see their hard work and dedication being celebrated by our community partners.
