Since 1988, Compton Jr Posse, a year round afterschool program servicing at risk inner city youth in Compton, Ca and surrounding communities. CJP provides mentoring and leadership skill development using horses as the motivational tool of choice. International studies show teaming youth with animals teaches discipline, increases self esteem, a sense of responsibility to self, community and to society in general. CJP provides the opportunity to explore outside their communities, through competition, camping and apprenticeships. They engage in new experiences and develop new relationships which enrich their life's experiences. CJP has seen tremendous changes in its students and can boast helping its 3rd generation of kids to college, the military and into business for themselves.
