Volunteers Needed for Equine Assisted Activities/ Therapeutic Riding

Parkwood Farms Therapy Center, Inc.

Our volunteers also help out with the grooming and exercising of the horses, keeping the tack clean and neat, and fulfilling the general cleaning duties of the barn, arenas and grounds. No experience is necessary. The only requirements are that you like to help others, are dependable and responsible and have a positive attitude


Our volunteers experience the satisfaction of knowing that they have made a difference in a child's life. It is gratifying to see the progress the children are making in their therapies. And, if not for our volunteers, these kids would be denied the opportunity to experience the benefits that can improve their Quality of Life. A desire to give back and help someone else is what drives our volunteers. What a great group we have!

Sessions are Tuesday and Thursday from 2:30 to 6:30 PM, Sunday 7:30 - noon.
