Become a Volunteer
Second Chance Equine Association is a fully volunteer-run organization, and our volunteers play an essential role in helping us fulfill our mission. We rely on our volunteers for all sorts of things like:
-
Horse care activities such as grooming, stall cleaning, feeding, and general barn and property upkeep
-
Fundraising support
-
Grant writing
-
Helping at seminars, clinics, and community events
-
General organizational support as needs arise
You don't need to own a horse or have equine experience to volunteer. All you need is a passion for animals and a desire to support our mission. Volunteers can participate as their schedule allows. We have opportunities that can be scheduled or you can give your time on an as-needed basis.
If you choose to be a member, there are multiple levels of our membership program, including an opportunity to be part of our group insurance (details below). It's up to you what level suits you best.
