After you complete and submit the Volunteer Registration Form, a Strongwater staff member will review it and contact you to schedule a date for your volunteer orientation and to answer any questions you may have. Together, you will agree upon a role that best suits your interests and qualifications and Strongwater’s needs
All prospective volunteers must attend a volunteer orientation. Prospective volunteers must bring a driver’s license, or another form of government-issued photo ID to the orientation. If you are under 18 years of age, you must have your application signed by a parent or legal guardian.
The volunteer orientation includes an overview of Strongwater’s programs, an explanation of the clients we serve, an opportunity to meet our horses, and an overview of our policies and procedures. It also includes a tour of the facility. Please wear warm clothing and sturdy shoes or boots as orientation sessions are held rain or shine.
At the conclusion of the orientation session, volunteers will confirm their role(s) as a volunteer and if necessary, sign up for additional training. Roles include sidewalker, horse leader, feeder, office volunteer, etc.
“The volunteers at Strongwater Farm are the heart of the organization and we rely on their generosity, spirit, and commitment to keep the farm running, day-in, day-out, year round. There is always a job to be done and if you want to be here, we will find something for you to do. We are always looking for more helping hands to join us in our mission to help others.
It’s my personal mission to make sure that, as a Strongwater volunteer, you find enjoyment and fulfillment in the work you do with us. If you have any questions or comments, or if you would like to learn more about becoming a Strongwater volunteer, please contact me at: [email protected].
I’d love to meet with you! On behalf of our horses, our riders and our staff, thank you for your interest in joining us.”
