VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Volunteers are an integral part of our organization. In 2019, we relied on a staff of 53 dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers contribute their time to help in lessons, caring for and exercising our horses, fundraising and special events, and much more. We have volunteers who dedicate a couple hours a month to the center to as much as over 40 hours a month. We appreciate any amount of time and skills you are able to contribute. Below is a list of our volunteer opportunities:
New volunteers are asked to attend a New Volunteer Orientation. We hold new volunteer orientations on the second Saturday of each month at 9:00am. Orientation is 1-hour and is an opportunity for you to learn about CAR, learn about the different volunteer opportunities, and tour our facilities.
All of us at the Center for Adaptive Riding are forever grateful for the thousands of hours our amazing volunteers donate to our organization.
