Volunteer Opportunities

Dear Volunteer,

​We are able to run this incredible organization because of you. Thank you for taking the time to help our community's special need individuals.  We are always amazed at how LifeStriders seems to have such a positive effect on everyone involved.  By volunteering to help us out in any way, you will be giving back to the community, and enriching yours, and the lives of others.

We are currently looking for volunteers to help in various positions. You do not have to be a horse expert, we will teach you what you need to know in a comprehensive and informative volunteer training program.  For more information about volunteering, contact us.  Thanks for volunteering at LifeStriders.  We look forward to seeing you.

“Watching the clients' faces light up as they completed each exercise and seeing how much effort each staff member put into making sure each person succeeded was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life. I wanted to send you this email to thank you for giving me hope in a time when I needed it most and for helping me see a possible career that I would have otherwise never have looked into…. You are all so wonderful, I cannot say enough good things about you. Please continue to do what you are doing because you are making a difference not only in the lives of each client, but in the lives of each volunteer.” - Morgan
