🌟 Cheyne Ranch Core Values: Workers & Volunteers

At Cheyne Ranch, we grow through relationships. Whether you’re volunteering, working part-time, or leading from within our family, you are part of how growth happens here. You don’t need to be perfect — you just need to show up with presence, patience, and a willingness to learn.

Here’s what our core values mean for all of us who serve:

🛡️ Safety

We lead with calm, steady awareness so people and animals feel safe and ready to learn. That means following procedures, staying alert, and speaking up if you’re unsure.

You help set the tone — your calm presence makes growth possible.

🤝 Inclusion

You’ll work with people who think, communicate, and learn in different ways. We adapt to meet needs, create belonging, and still hold boundaries that keep everyone safe.

We don’t expect perfection. We expect openness, respect, and kindness.

🧭 Integrity

Do the right thing — even when it’s hard. Own your actions, follow through on commitments, and learn from mistakes so you can do better next time.

Integrity means people can trust you — and our team depends on that.

💗 Compassion

Lead with empathy. Treat people and animals with dignity, kindness, and respect. Pay attention to feelings — yours, others’, and the animals’.

Compassion makes this a place people want to be.

🐴 Connection

Our animals aren’t tools — they’re partners. Pay attention to their signals. Build trust through gentle leadership and steady presence. Do the same with people.

Connection builds confidence — for you and for those you lead.

🌱 Growth

We encourage learning, even when it’s hard. Every stall mucked, every halter buckled, every moment you show up matters. Support each other through challenges, because everyone is capable of more than they know.

We grow by doing hard things — together.

💬 Final Note

Whether you’re here every day or once a month, your presence matters. At Cheyne Ranch, joining the team means building something real — through relationships, respect, and the kind of work that helps people grow. Thank you for being here.
