Volunteering at High Hopes is much more than a regular donation of time and service. It involves willingness to become part of a larger community. Volunteers give something of themselves and receive back another person’s hopes and dreams. High Hopes volunteers participate in all aspects of activity, and do so as individuals, members of work groups, families and participants in community service programs. They give their time, talents and energy to help support High Hopes and the people it serves.

Some of the benefits of volunteering at High Hope include:

  • Enjoy a positive and supportive environment
  • Learn new skills/gain experience working with people and horses
  • Resume building
  • References for school and work
  • Be part of a fun and rewarding experience!

What we need from you:

  • Commitment and reliability
  • Willingness to learn and put forth good effort
  • Effective communication
  • Adherance to policies and procedures
  • Be kind and respectful of others
