HOW TO HELP

​

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

– Mahatma Gandhi

Hearts and Hooves is dedicated to enhancing the lives of our special young participants at North Shelby School, but we face a challenge in recruiting volunteers. Our program operates on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:15 am to 1:45 pm during the school year, and we rely on passionate individuals who are eager to make a difference. Our volunteers experience the joy of service and accomplishment as they witness the smiles and progress of our participants. We are immensely grateful for our volunteers, the true "Hearts" of our program, whose dedication ensures the success of Hearts and Hooves.

          Join us in making a difference!
We welcome volunteers who can dedicate as little as a couple of hours a month or more, depending on your availability. Your support is invaluable in preparing our horses for lessons, grooming, assisting our participants, and helping with arena maintenance. Together, we can enrich the lives of special children and young adults in our program.

To volunteer with us you need to attend our Orientation, if you are working with our horses and participants you will need to attend our Equine Safety Training as well.

We have many volunteer opportunities at Hearts and Hooves.

At Hearts and Hooves, we are fortunate to have a diverse group of volunteers who generously share their time and talents each week. Our volunteers, ranging from retirees to enthusiastic youth, come together with a shared goal: to make a positive impact in the lives of our community members facing challenges. Whether working on projects from home, tackling special renovation tasks at our center, assisting participants during lessons, every contribution is invaluable. Join us in our mission to inspire change and create new possibilities for those we serve!
