THERE WILL BE NO WALK-INS AT THE DOOR. https://comptonjrequestrians.eventbrite.com ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS: Compton Jr. Equestrians was developed to serve inner city youth in the hub city of Compton, along with local areas. CJE was formed in response to the lack of programs available to youth in the community who are at risk for dropping out of school, incarceration, and poverty. Founded by Jamie Vance and Randall Hook, natives of Compton, CJE proves the importance of giving back to ones own community. They were once students of the widely known program, Compton Jr. Posse. Upon it's closure, neither of the two wanted such an important piece of the community to vanish, leaving hundreds of youth without such a program. Combining Jamie's passion for educational and nonprofit programs, along with Randy's business savvy and knowledge of the equine world, the two decided to form the Compton Jr. Equestrians. Our program not only teaches the highly esteemed skill of horseback riding, but academic achievement and character building. Some of the academic areas we build upon are science, math, literacy, and cultural history. Youth in our program also build discipline, self-esteem, and leadership. CJE serves as a safe haven away from the dangers of the streets, such as drugs, gangs, and poverty. Horseback riding naturally helps build coping mechanisms for the youth, in turn, youth gain respect for animals and nature, and eachother, building lifelong bonds.
