Volunteer Opportunities
There are many ways to help out at Wild Hearts 'n Horses!
By filling out the Volunteer Application Form you may choose an area in which to help. All volunteers will have a background check before being accepted. Background checks are done on every volunteer to protect the organization, its staff and board members but most of all, to protect our youth.
Outdoor Upkeep
It takes approximately 5 to 6 hours to mow the Fellowship Park, the hiking and riding trails and the main entry all the way to the barn. If you have a ZTR and want to spend the day helping us manicure the ranch we would be so appreciative.
If you have spraying equipment to spray the pastures for weeds and a small tractor with a brush mower, we could use some help with weed control. You may have equipment to seed for a more nutritious forage for the horses. Anything helps.
Building
Building obstacle courses would help attract young males. We have a pile of lumber and tractor tires ready to be planted in the ground and built to create climbing challenges. If you come with ideas for creating a feature we would be very open.
Design a building. If you work with program designs then we have the perfect place for you. We need a design for a Dining Hall/Activities room. It's a 50'x80' structure with a commercial kitchen, two conference rooms, one storage room and bathrooms. We believe there should be a basement in the event of severe weather to protect God's creation. We also have approval to build 8 cabins and an indoor riding arena.
Working with Youth
We have many opportunities to get involved with youth; mentoring, coaching, teaching life skills, encouraging and more.
Please think about the many opportunities. We are growing each year but we can't do it alone, we need people to help both financially and to give of their time and resources.
Service Projects for those who want to partner with us: Fencing, Mowing, Cutting Firewood, Hang Out, Create more Obstacle Courses, Tree Planting, Riding Horses and much, much more.
If you live in the area and are interested in giving your time to the ranch, we invite you to complete and return our Local Volunteer Application.
Our Local Volunteers must be age 18 or older. If a youth age 17 or under is interested in volunteering, he or she must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian or approved as a Youth Volunteer. We love having families volunteer together - parents and kids working side by side. Please keep in mind that we do not offer childcare for volunteers. It is the volunteers responsibility to watch his or her children at all times while at the ranch. As we move to the new property we will need lots of volunteers to help with the construction of barns and buildings.
If you have a specific skill or gift that you would like to offer be sure to indicate that on your application.
