Volunteer Opportunities at Runnin’ Free Ranch
Use Your Hands and Heart to Help Bring Hope and Healing
Runnin’ Free Ranch relies on dedicated volunteers like you to support our mission of providing trauma-focused equine-assisted counseling to veterans, at-risk youth, individuals with special needs, and their families. Whether you're passionate about horses, enjoy working outdoors, or simply want to serve, there's a place for you here!
🔨 Ranch Workdays
Our scheduled workdays are a great way to roll up your sleeves and contribute directly to the care and maintenance of the Ranch property. Most tasks are outdoors and vary by season and need.
Typical Ranch Workday Tasks:
- Maintaining horse pasture fencing
- Burning or clearing fallen branches and debris
- Cleaning and restoring outdoor picnic tables
- General grounds maintenance and beautification
- Workday volunteers should dress for the weather, wear closed-toe shoes, and bring gloves if possible.
🎉 Special Event Volunteers
We host various special events throughout the year—from Discovery Days to on-site fundraisers—and need helping hands to make these moments successful and welcoming for guests.
Special Event Tasks May Include:
- Assisting with guest check-in and welcome
- Helping with event set-up and tear-down
- Grooming and preparing horses to meet visitors
- Supporting event activities (serving, raffle tables, clean-up, etc.)
No horse experience is necessary—we’ll guide you!
