Volunteer Opportunities

Program Volunteers
Minimum Age: 14
Program volunteers are the lifeblood to Windridge's programs. Volunteers assist instructors with horse care, preparation for a participant's class time and aid the participant throughout their class time as a leader or a side-walker.

Training sessions are provided to further volunteer's knowledge and skills.

Special Projects
Minimum Age: 14
Windridge resides on 35 acres and with this is the responsibility for fencing, erosion control and facility maintenance. Windridge's special projects include building a section of perimeter fence; fix an area to improve drainage, and finish our covered bridge in our sensory trail. As a result of the drought last summer Windridge has lost several trees. We need someone with the equipment and skills to cut down and remove the trees.

Rider Scholarships
High medical costs, lack of insurance, and high gas costs strap a families budget. 68% of those who participate in Windridge's equine assisted activities and therapy programs cannot afford the minimal session fee. Scholarships are needed to support a participant's involvement.
Fall Scholarships - $650
Winter Scholarships - $650
Spring Scholarships - $520
Summer Scholarships - $520

Equine Sponsorship
Each horse, that is a part of Windridge's equine staff, has been donated. Each horse receives specialized training to aid and support the children and adults who participate in one of five programs offered at Windridge. Windridge needs sponsors to support the annual care of the horses. An annual sponsorship is $1700 a year.
