Volunteer FAQ
-
What is the minimum age to volunteer?
If you are at least 14 years of age, able to work independently and have experience with horses or working with children with special needs we welcome you to volunteer in our programs. For those requiring supervision, we have opportunities for those individuals and their parent/guardian.

Is horse experience required?
Though horse experience is preferred due to the nature of our programs, it is not required. We strive to welcome community members with varying experiences and backgrounds as our participants' and program needs are vast. We offer various training opportunities to help volunteers obtain the skills needed to support our overall mission.
