Volunteers play a critical role in our mission of providing limitless opportunities for young adults on the autism spectrum. Our friends at SPS Commerce support our mission in many ways, and we're beyond grateful for the hard work of a recent group of volunteers they sent to help us clean up the ranch and put it in footings for our new yurt.

In June 2022, leaders from the Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) industry, along with investors, philanthropic supporters, government agencies, and other partners came together in the spirit of collaboration for the CDFI Small Business Recovery Fund Summit in Atlanta, GA. The conference – co-hosted by The Generation Foundation, Calvert Impact Capital, and Community Reinvestment Fund, USA (CRF) – provided an opportunity for CDFI stakeholders to analyze recovery funds that were established to support small businesses throughout the pandemic and discuss growth opportunities for the industry going forward.

In the summer of 2021, a group from DiscoveryBound visited our ranch to volunteer and assisted with several projects, including clearing a new trail for our horseback rides. They worked side by side with our members on the autism spectrum and made a tremendous impact that will allow us to better sustain our mission for years to come. We're so grateful for their time and efforts! Interested in setting up a group volunteer trip to our ranch? For more information, please visit: https://eriksranch.org/index.php/montana/volunteer/
