Why Volunteer at H.E.L.P. in 2025?

To Empower Lives One Hoofbeat at a Time!

 
 

Volunteering at H.E.L.P.

 

We are excited about your interest in volunteering at H.E.L.P.! Volunteers are the backbone of any adaptive riding program. Our clients cannot participate without the physical, emotional, and psychological support of our volunteers.

There are also other volunteer opportunities apart from working directly with clients. We are always in need of volunteers to help keep our facilities and grounds tidy, feed and care for the horses, perform administrative duties, and many other important activities.

As a volunteer, you will be a part of a professional and dedicated team. We also have a lot of fun! Therapeutic riding brings feelings of boundless joy and accomplishment to everyone involved. The rewards for both you and our clients make volunteering efforts very worthwhile.

Here’s how to “help”!

To become a H.E.L.P. volunteer, we typically recommend that you first visit our facilities to learn about what it’s like to volunteer. To ensure the highest level of safety for our staff and clients, we’re carefully scheduling visitors at this time.

 

STEP ONE: VISIT

Please click HERE to schedule your visit. You will observe during a lesson and then chat with one of our volunteer liasons for next steps and to answer any questions.

If one of the time blocks at the link above doesn’t work for your schedule or if you have additional questions before visiting please email our Volunteer Coordinator.

After visiting with us, and you’ve decided to join the H.E.L.P. Volunteer team, you’ll need to attend a Volunteer Orientation. PLEASE VISIT FIRST before registering for an Orientation session.

 

STEP TWO (after visiting):

Volunteer Orientation

Volunteer Orientation is typically held at H.E.L.P. on the 3rd Saturday of each month (but can vary so check the dates in the registration form) from 12:30pm - 3:30pm.

At orientation, you’ll learn more about the organization, all the different volunteer opportunities available to you, important safety and regulatory information, and much more. We look forward to seeing you there!

Once registered, we will send you more info as we get closer to the orientation date.
