To Become a High Hopes Volunteer:

1. The recommended minimum age for volunteers is 14.
2. Please complete your Volunteer Registration & Release Form (volunteers under the age of 18 years must have paperwork signed by a parent or guardian to participate in training and volunteering) and return it to High Hopes.
3. Individuals must be available a minimum of one hour per week, the same day and time each week, to volunteer. New volunteers receive their assignment and schedule following their attendance in a volunteer orientation and training session. Volunteer assignments and schedules are based on interest, experience and availability. The first semester of volunteering is considered a trial period.
4. All volunteer opportunities, including work in the Equine Program, Office, or Facility also require attending a general volunteer orientation and training session.
5. Volunteering in the Equine Program, Lesson Program and/or Facility involves moderate physical activity. Please be sure you are comfortable with the physical aspects of the role you select.
