Volunteer Opportunities –
If you are looking for community service, volunteer ribbons for military and/or youth programs, or even adding to your college application, Horse & Family Institute™ is here for you. We are actively seeking volunteers!! We are a nonprofit learning organization and it is critical to our success that we have volunteers that can help us in the care of the facilities, the animals, and with mentoring while keeping the growth of our company moving forward. There are several opportunities and areas to volunteer in. Whether you "like" horses or just a good cause like ours, there are many needs and positions that could use your time and touch. These areas include, but are not limited to, Office and Administrative Support, Grant development (to include drafting and writing), Fundraising development, animal care, Program development, Curriculum development, Facilitator for classes, Class mentor, Grounds Maintenance, cleaning tack, hosting fundraising events, and Marketing. Some of these positions may/may not include web time. Any and all support that is given is truly appreciated.
Volunteers may vary in age, knowledge, expertise and ability. Typically, anyone can volunteer in some capacity or another, however, it is required of all volunteers to attend a six (6) hour volunteer training program prior to any volunteering so as to ensure that all are aware of the rules, regulations, and how the different areas can affect the ministry of Horse & Family Institute™. Anyone who is 15 years of age or older may participate in the mentoring, however, an adult must accompany the classes as well. For those 16 years of age and older, they may come without an adult. Even if you are not old enough to be a mentor, there are still many things you can do to participate as listed above.
Please call the office at 910-467-9740 for more information.
