Overview

Volunteer with horses & equestrians. No horse experience required.

Wings of Hope Equitherapy provides equine-assisted services to children and adults with unique challenges. Through the power of a horse, individuals with disabilities have the opportunity to work through challenges facing them in daily life. Learn tools to help them work through those challenges. Wings of Hope serves 50+ individuals weekly, ranging in the age of 3-70+, with many different disabilities.

Volunteers are the backbone of our organization; without volunteers, we couldn't serve those in our community in need.

Wings of Hope’s mission is to provide equine-assisted services for children, teenagers, and adults with unique physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Our purpose is to provide healing through horses and the love of God. We are open to all, and our programs have no religious content. As volunteers, you will work with horses & equestrians providing support and encouragement for our riders. We will guide and teach all volunteers how to groom and tack horses and care for them. We will also educate volunteers on how to properly help our equestrians while in a lesson. We value and are grateful for all who take an interest in our non-profit organization and to those who have volunteered with Wings of Hope.
