Who we are: About CORRAL
CORRAL is a faith-based non-profit organization operating out of Cary, North Carolina. We are an intervention program for adolescent girls in high-risk situations in the Triangle Area. Our participants may be “high-risk” due to socioeconomic status, trauma such as neglect, abuse, or, more frequently, a combination of these situations. We pair high-risk girls between the ages of 11 and 18 with rescued horses to promote healing, transformational growth, and ultimately, lasting life change. CORRAL Riding Academy fulfills Wake County’s need for positive youth interventions by not only providing high-risk girls with positive interventions but by equipping them with the life skills and career tools they will need to succeed in their adult lives.
We’re Expanding!
CORRAL is opening up CORRAL Neuse River Campus in October 2019, a second farm in the Southeast Raleigh area. This is part of a 10 year strategy to quadruple our capacity to serve youth in Wake County by 2028! We’re growing from a small entrepreneurial non-profit to a scalable mid-level business and have a fundraising goal of $1.2 million for FY 19-20 and doubling our capacity to serve girls. CORRAL is heavily investing in growth and development over the next three years. The chosen candidate will join CORRAL’s Corporate Team which is primarily responsible for driving this growth and expansion over the next three years.
How We’re Doing It
Being part of the CORRAL team means being ready to work hard and joyfully towards this mission. We take our jobs seriously...but we try not to take ourselves too seriously. Our team is fun, collaborative, and filled with supportive people (and their dogs). You will be managed by the Director of Corporate Operations and work closely with a team of other professionals that are driving CORRAL’s expansion and growth goals.
Who you are:
We’re looking for a passionate, committed, resourceful & hard-working team player that will drive our BIG goals forward! Are you a visionary strategic thinker that is relationship focused and sales/business minded? Are you a digital guru & a brand champion that is able to see the big picture and tell the story to get us there? Are you able to work in a fast paced, collaborative space? Then we look forward to meeting with you!
Diversity Statement
CORRAL aims to serve the highest risk girls in our community. Among those risk factors is the intangible yet pervasive influence of systemic racism. As members of a marginalized population, young people of color are statistically more likely to have negative health, academic and economic outcomes. Understanding this context, CORRAL bears the same responsibility to heal the trauma our girls have experienced due to systemic racism just as much as more commonly understood forms of trauma ie. physical or emotional abuse.
CORRAL is committed to creating a diverse and equitable workplace. This means we value everyone regardless of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status. In order to create a staff that represents the youth we serve — diverse, qualified applicants are encouraged to apply.
Hours: This is a full-time role with typical, but flexible, office hours of 9a–5p Monday–Friday. Some evenings and Saturdays required (scheduled in advance).

What We’re Doing
The CORRAL Riding Academy is a faith-based nonprofit operating out of Cary, North Carolina. We pair at-risk girls middle & high schoolers with rescued horses to promote lasting life change. CORRAL is intended as a long-term intervention for these girls, requiring a minimum of one year’s commitment from each participant. CORRAL’s program provides intensely personal and high contact programming that includes only the uppermost standards of literacy and academic tutoring, vocational training, and equine assisted therapy programs, as well as individual and group mental health sessions. These efforts considerably reduce recidivism and risky behaviors among young women in our county, creating a future of strong, independent individuals.
What You’ll Do
CORRAL horses are trained in natural horsemanship and their job at CORRAL is to teach healthy relationships to CORRAL participants. The Equine Manager will ensure that each horse receives the proper care and training to meet the needs of program participants in horseback riding sessions and Equine Assisted Psychotherapy sessions. The Equine Manager will be the main facilitator of these sessions. Additionally, the Equine Manager will coordinate with the Facilities Manager to provide a safe barn, arena, and fields for the horses and programming.
