Opportunities From: United Way of Dane County

Volunteer: Summer Property Maintenance (seasonal)

We are located on a 20 acre farm with a very limited staff that relies heavily on our volunteer work force. We are looking for a handful of people that can come out on a weekly basis to help with lawn care, property maintenance, mowing, and weed-whacking. It's a great way to get some fresh air and enjoy the sunshine, with views of our horses and green fields. If you love working with your hands, this is a great opportunity for you!

 

RESTRICTIONS: Some of this work is physically demanding and requires attention to detail. We will train any interested parties on our own equipment (ZTR Zero Turn riding lawn mower, weed whackers).

Volunteer: Therapeutic Riding Lessons

Help support our students by volunteering during therapeutic riding lessons! Therapeutic riding lessons are horseback riding lessons for people with disabilities. Therapeutic riding promotes strength, balance, flexibility, and coordination. The human-horse interaction also promotes confidence, self- esteem, problem solving, and emotional regulation.

Volunteers are responsible for grooming and tacking horses for lessons, and side walking or leading horses during lessons. Side walkers provide physical, social, and mental support for riders as they walk along side the student. Horse leaders manage the horses during the lesson.

Currently, we are offering lessons on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights.

In order to get started as a lesson volunteer, the first step is to attend volunteer orientation, or if you would like to begin sooner, you may join any session of lessons as a volunteer shadow to one of our mentor volunteers. Mentor volunteers, along with the instructors for the class will help guide you through the process of volunteering for lessons.

If interested in this opportunity, please respond to this post.
