    Description

    Volunteers Needed!

    We are looking for a wide range of volunteer roles to assist with client sessions as a side walker, barn chores, facility management, and horse leading. A side walker’s primary role is to support the client as needed. We will provide thorough training prior to a new volunteer becoming active on our schedule so that they feel competent and comfortable in their role. We ask that volunteers commit to a specific time frame (a consistent day and time), so that you can get to know our therapists and the clients you will work with!

    • Our client sessions are 45 minutes so we usually ask volunteers to come for a period of 2 hours at a time i.e., 08:00 to 10:00
    • Volunteers would work 2-3 sessions within this time frame depending on the scheduled client sessions.
