Who Can Volunteer?

 

Anyone age 14 or older can volunteer at TRRC. We ask that our volunteers dedicate at least 2-3 hours per week to their activities at the Center. Our services rely on punctual and consistent volunteers who are committed to working with the horses and those riders they might assist in lessons.
