Volunteer Opportunities From: United Way of the Midlands

Volunteer: Sidewalker for Adaptive Riding and Therapy Sessions

Sidewalkers are at least 14 years. They help set up and tear down equipment in the arena before, in between and/or after sessions. They also walk next to the participant during sessions and assist with balance and exercises. They must be able to comfortably walk and jog, for short distances, next to a horse while providing physical support to a participant.

Days and times that sessions are conducted:
Monday-Thursday and Saturday morning through early afternoon.
Volunteers typically work a 2-3 hour shift on their day, NOT the entire duration of sessions.

For additional information please join us at a HETRA tour! You can see upcoming tour dates and sign up to attend here: http://hetra.org/calendar-of-events/
