Volunteer

Equine-Assisted Therapy simply wouldnt exist if it werent for our amazing volunteers.

In a typical week, more than 150 volunteers walk through our doors. Each act of kindness within this program, no matter how small, creates a ripple effect that is felt for generations.

Who can volunteer?

To volunteer in a class, you must be able-bodied and able to make a regular commitment (even if its only an hour a week). Volunteers who work directly with horses need to be at least 14 years old.

We have volunteers who help in a variety of other ways (event support, maintenance skills, etc.). If youd like to know more about volunteering outside of a class, contact our office for more information.

What are the benefits?

Many of our volunteers admit that they began serving to help the children in our program but were surprised by how therapeutic it was for them as well. Its fulfilling enough to watch a child develop physically, emotionally, and relationally; and its even more rewarding to know that you were an influential part of that childs development. It touches your heart in a way that is beyond words.
