Why Volunteer?   

The RTC is volunteer-based, operating on 20 acres with a growing horse herd and number of clients served each week.  There is a job for everyone! Have special skills, knowledge, or preferences?  
Let us know.  

Not sure of how you can help?  Volunteering can foster necessary life skills for home, school, and the workplace and might even help you find your future career.  Try it today; you'll be surprised how making someone smile will do the same for you!

When Can You Help?  

Lesson Volunteers are needed during the weekly Therapeutic Riding lessons, Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday afternoon/evenings.  We request that volunteers make a consistent weekly time commitment that works best for your schedule in order to make the lessons more effective for each rider.
