Corporate and Community Groups

BINA encourages area companies and community groups to visit our barn to engage in meaningful community service and learn about our mission. It’s a great opportunity for teams to come together to make a difference, work together in a different way, and enjoy some fresh air and each other. Service outings can be combined with your traditional corporate outing celebration and/or character education programming, in which we provide eduational programming around different abilities.

Teen Ambassador Program (TAP)

The TAP program was established to encourage and nurture future leaders in non-profit and philanthropy endeavors. A combination of teamwork skills, education, character building and philanthropy, TAP is truly the new face of teen community service. After a successful six month pilot, BINA began its first official year with a group of dedicated teens ready to immerse themselves in non-profit work. TAP members commit to a year in the program.

How you help

All of our programs rely on dedicated volunteers in order to provide each participant with a fun, safe and rewarding experience. Our volunteer team is crucial and without their hard work and dedication, our goals would not be achieved.
