www.thedonkeysoftheheart.org

    • Mission

    We are a 501(C)(3) organization providing therapeutic and educational opportunities to children, adolescents, and adults with cognitive, mental, and behavioral challenges. This includes the at-risk community and military populations. Our volunteers are the driving force behind our organization. These are the people who dedicate their time and energy to help our clients achieve their goals. The opportunities are limitless! Let us know if you have a special skill. Volunteers come from all walks of life, some with donkey experience and some with no experience at all. No special expertise is required to volunteer with The Donkeys of the Heart — just a passion to help make a difference in someone’s life and a willingness to learn. Here’s where we can use your help: Donkey’s care Handlers for the sessions Board of Directors Client Services Social Media Fundraising/Grants Writing/Special Events Marketing Public Relations/Community Outreach Team Office Work/Accountancy
