READY TO VOLUNTEER?
We are excited that you are interested in joining our team! Here are a few steps you need to take before getting started with our program. Please note that we have two different training options which have been explained below.
SCHEDULE YOUR ORIENTATION
Orientations are designed for a group of volunteers that are interested in assisting with our lessons OR for volunteers that are only interested in helping out behind the scenes including grooming, daily chores, facility maintenance etc. Orientations must be scheduled by contacting Erin directly. Please click on the button below to fill out our contact form regarding your orientation.
SCHEDULE YOUR OBSERVATION LESSON
Observation lessons are designed for volunteers that are interested in assisting during our lessons. These trainings are open to one or two volunteers at a time. During an observation lesson, you'll get to experience a lesson in action, see the different roles our volunteers take on during the lessons and how our volunteers engage with our students. Please click on the button below to see our volunteer sign up sheet, choose one lesson that has 2 or more yellow boxes underneath that would work with your schedule then type your name into a white box near that lesson. Please contact Erin at handhoofheart@gmail.com to confirm your training.
