Volunteer Process
*Program Volunteer opportunities are available for those 14 and older.
- Sign up for a profile here on this website! Everyone under 18 MUST have their waivers signed by a parent or guardian as well.
- Respond to the next Volunteer Training opportunity. Make-ups are available for those who make a commitment to 2hrs per week for the entire semester. There is no fee for training. Donations are welcome!
- Watch this training video.
- Download and review the volunteer handbook, preferably before you attend training.
- At training: Wear sturdy footwear and clothes that can get dirty. Be sure to dress for the weather; we have training rain or shine. Please bring a water bottle & snack!
* If you are age 12 or 13, you can work in the barn, but you must have a parent or guardian come work with you initially. It is not required, but it is encouraged that you attend training. Both you and your parent or guardian must complete applications and call to schedule a brief orientation and volunteer times. If you are 13 and very horse-experienced, you may be able to volunteer on your own as a Program Volunteer with a written letter of recommendation from your trainer or barn manager.
NOTE: Please park ONLY in the Equest parking areas - NOT the first lot closer to River Ranch. See map below.
