Volunteer Your Time
Imagine helping a child or adult in your community as he or she takes a first step, speaks for the first time, or laughs with joy. Now imagine doing this in the company of horses! Volunteering at Chariot Riders might be the best thing you have ever done for yourself and for the special riders at Chariot Riders Therapeutic Academy.
Chariot Riders’ mission goes beyond helping people learn to ride horses; we help people experience success. We work with children and adults who often face serious physical, emotional, or social challenges, and we help them to discover their own strength, beauty, and talent. We love our work at Chariot Riders, and we cannot do it without your help! As a volunteer, you will become a vital part of the program, working directly with horses, riders, Chariot Riders staff, and other volunteers. You will share in the large and small triumphs of our riders as they experience “the miracle in the movement” of therapeutic riding.
