Islandia, New York - Pal-O-Mine Equestrian has received a $12,500 grant from The New York Community Bank Foundation in Roslyn, NY and a $1,500 grant from The WE CARE Fund of the Nassau County Bar Association in Mineola, NY. The donations will go towards funding for Pal-O-Mine’s Job Security Through Equine Partnerships (J-STEP) Program.

The core objective of the J-STEP Program is to provide employment opportunities to adults with disabilities. Through the J-STEP Program and equine therapy, each participant is able to gain increased self-confidence and improved job skills to help them obtain employment in his or her community.  In 2010, The New York Community Bank Foundation was one of the initial contributors of the J-STEP pilot run and the program has since been successful in implementing a recycling program, organic farming, and horticulture. With the support of local organizations like The New York Community Bank Foundation and The WE CARE Fund, J-STEP continues to help adults with disabilities progress into the workforce and to further develop a green living program and an energy conservation program at Pal-O-Mine. 

For more information about Pal-O-Mine Equestrian’s J-STEP Program or donating to Pal-O-Mine through either donations or services, please contact Pal-O-Mine at (631) 348-1389 or visit www.pal-o-mine.org.
