Volunteers are needed in every part of the work we do – from helping us at fundraising events and working booths to raising awareness to inputting names in our database and conducting online research. 

Note that, in many cases, our volunteers may work virtually while in others, your presence may be required. Please let us know what your interest is and we will try to place you as best we can and certainly in a role that you will find gratifying.


Our volunteers help make the world a more humane place for working equines.

You must be at least 16 years of age to volunteer. We support school mandated community service programs and provide confirmation certifications to participating students.
