Come Join Us
. Facilities / Grounds Keeping
We always need assistance keeping our 8-acre facility looking beautiful and welcoming! By maintaining a beautiful, clean, and pleasing facility, we provide a feeling of respite and retreat for our clients as well as their families and caregivers. The simple act of keeping our pastures and stalls clean or helping us build fences and other structures is truly an act of kindness for our clients as well as safety for our staff and horses. This opportunity is ideal for those who enjoy being outdoors and around people and animals.
Special Events & Office Help
Throughout the year, we need help with special events, such as our annual Gala, Family Holiday Party, and educational demonstrations. We welcome volunteers, help with set up and tear down, crafts, photography, and more!
If you are tech-savvy, we could really use your help in the office with graphic design, PowerPoint presentations, film-making, and more! Also, marketing, grant writing, event planning, and fundraising. Please fill out the Volunteer Application and let us know about your special skills!
