Why Volunteer?
Why does Strides use volunteers?
Strides to Success is a non-profit organization and like many non-profits, we cannot afford a large staff. Therefore, we rely on volunteers to help keep things running.
What do you do as a volunteer?
Our volunteers perform many tasks, including:
- Caring for the horses by grooming and feeding them
- Cleaning out stalls, pastures, and the arenas
- Keeping the offices and classrooms clean
- Helping with our lessons by leading the horses and side-walking with the clients
- And helping with special events like training workshops, girl scout events and other activities
What kind of time commitment does a volunteer invest?
Some of our volunteers are at Strides every week; some are only able to help with special events. We welcome any time you can give us!
Who can volunteer?
In order to comply with the regulations of our certifying organization (NAHRA), all Strides volunteers must be over 14 years old and must pass a police background check.
How can I volunteer?
We ask that all of our volunteers complete our on-line volunteer application. This will get you into our database and on our mailing list. Click here to access the application.
Once your application is received, you will be contacted with specific opportunities that will best fit your skills and interests. Also watch for our monthly newsletter which will contain information about special events.
