Volunteer: Horses Help all day
|
Horses Help utilizes specially trained horses, well-qualified instructors that are certified by North American Riding for the Handicapped Assn. (NARHA), physical and occupational therapists, and community volunteers to form exceptional teams to work with the special abilities population. Riders range in age from three to seniors and represent a wide range of physical and mental disabilities. Participants enjoy weekly sessions to learn riding/driving skills, receive therapy, and enjoy the freedom of activities with THEIR horse. Leaving wheelchairs and walkers behind, these riders control their horse through obstacles and journey where they couldn't otherwise go by themselves.
Volunteer Committees and Job categories are designed to give a volunteer an opportunity to make use of their personal talents and fulfill their reason for volunteering. You may also wish to become involved with one of our committees. These groups meet one time per month depending on the committee’s need. The time commitment is up to the individual volunteer. If you are dealing with therapeutic riding or Hippotherapy classes, a regular commitment of 1-3 hours per week is important to remain consistent with our special needs riders. When working on special events or projects, you may wish to involve yourself with one event per year. Your time is special to us and we will do everything in our power to meet your personal time needs. Large volunteer groups are welcome! What ever is in your heart we will make good use of your time and talent!
