Be a Freedom Farm Volunteer!
Do you have 1 hour a week to spend with a child who's smile will melt your heart? Each rider needs 3 volunteers: 2 sidewalkers and 1 leader. A sidewalker walks on each side of the rider while they are on the horse. A leader is the person handling the horse. Our lessons run from April through October: 3 sessions - Spring, Summer & Fall. You can volunteer for all sessions or just one.
Volunteer in 2012!
Every Freedom
Farm Volunteer needs to attend one annual training and complete annual Volunteer Forms. Training sessions last 2 hours and the forms can be downloaded below. Freedom Farm volunteers usually sign up for 1 or 2 hours per week, but this varies per session.
