Leadership Venice Selects Class Project Recipient

July 14, 2021 – Venice

The Leadership Venice Class of 2021 has selected InStride Therapy as the recipient of their Class Project. Project plans include upgrading the Sensory Arena with a sand path, a wooden board path, a stone path, a sensory garden with horse friendly plants, and multi-touch point activity boards. Work will also include improving and repairing some of the existing structures.

InStride’s hippotherapy sessions serve children and adults through Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy. Therapeutic Riding and Equine Assisted Learning Programs are offered in partnership with other organizations. Work to upgrade the Sensory Arena at InStride will begin soon with a completion date of September 30, 2021.

Leadership Venice is a program of the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce that introduces the class to community leaders and organizations around the area. The class members are tasked with selecting and implementing a class project to improve the community.

Monetary and material donations for the project are accepted from anyone who would like to make a difference in the life of someone who lives with disabilities. Contact Barbara Hines, Leadership Venice Director, at the Venice Area Chamber of Commerce, bhines@venicechamber.com.
