Volunteer Information

Volunteers at Hope’s Promise do more than give of their time and energy.  They change lives and help special individuals achieve dreams never before dreamed possible.  They make lasting friendships and join a larger community of fun-loving, energetic individuals intent on making a difference.  Volunteers assist riders during their weekly lessons, groom horses, help maintain the facility, assist with administrative tasks, and much, much more.  If you are interested in contributing your talents to a great cause, we welcome you to join us!
