Work to Ride (WTR) is an American nonprofit prevention program which seeks to aid disadvantaged urban youth (ages 7 to 19) by offering constructive activities including horsemanship, equine sports (Polo) and education.
[2] This program's goal is to inspire inner-city youth with limited opportunities in positive ways through the sport of polo.
WTR is based at Chamounix Stables in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, and gives urban teenagers a chance to come in contact with animals and nature.
WTR graduates receive assistance with college enrollment; a few also choose to come back to Chamounix and act as mentors to teens entering the program.
[3] In 2011, WTR became the first all-black squad to win the United States Polo Association's national interscholastic championship.
