Our Core Values: Everyone has choices, deserves respect, and is loved by God. Located in Norwalk Ohio Love Grows Love is a non-profit organization that promotes partnering with God and creation for self-discovery in developing teens as leaders through strength-based learning. In a farm-style environment we offer purposeful, guided animal assisted learning and farm-activity experiences. Participants can increase self-awareness and life application in these concepts: respect, responsibility, relationship skills, empathy, boundaries, choices/outcomes while having fun learning about themselves, their strengths and others. Currently Love Grows Love has a variety of equine partners including full-sized horses, miniatures, and a darling mule as well as dogs and cats. In the future, we plan to add chickens and goats. There will be other on-the-farm experiences like learning to compost and gardening for experiential learning. We work to help Huron county be a thriving, positive place to live by building connections to faith, family, and community in a challenging and encouraging environment. Though new to the Norwalk area, Love Grows Love is partnering, connecting, and working with other organizations that have many years of experience working with animal assisted learning. Key partners and organizations include:
-Crystal Peaks Youth Ranch
-E3A Equine experiential education
-Ginny Telego, The Collaboration Partners Ashland Ohio
Love Grows Love is led by a board of directors: Donna Hammann, Denny Cutnaw, Mollie Riley, and Marilyn Kamm
Our Vision: Seeing people engaging in the adventure of life with God. Our Mission: On the farm, we promote partnering with God and creation for self discovery in being all God has called us to be. We are so thankful for the blessings of our supporters throughout the community. Many hours and donations have made Love Grows Love a reality.
