Job Skills Program

The GallopNYC Job Skills Program empowers individuals with developmental and physical disabilities to gain the practical skills, confidence, and experience needed to pursue meaningful employment and greater independence.

Through tailored training and guided support from our expert job coaches, participants develop workplace skills, build self-esteem, and take on real-world responsibilities in equine-related roles. All participants are paid a fair wage for their work.

By combining hands-on experience with mentorship, the Job Skills Program creates a path toward long-term success in the workforce—offering not just employment training, but the confidence to thrive.

I feel like Gallop is more open minded. I feel more acceptable here. And I’m sure if someone else were to work here or intern here they would feel the same thing.
