For Volunteer Opportunities
We have three volunteer roles at The Red Barn. You can apply to as many roles as you would like. We do have a waitlist for some roles, depending on the season and need when you apply.
Barn Operations Volunteer
Horse Handler Volunteer
Agency Ambassador
Barn Operations Volunteers and Horse Handler Volunteers could have the opportunity to sidewalk in a lesson, so training for that could take place if applying for either of those roles.
Intake paperwork must be completed, including Background Check if you are 18 or older and DHR check if you are 19 or older.
For Group Volunteer Service Opportunities
If you would like more information about individual volunteer opportunities, please scroll down and fill out the interest form.
Ready to Volunteer? Complete the form, and we’ll be in touch!
Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. All volunteers must pass an online test, pass two background checks, and attend an orientation. It may take a while to complete the process, but it's well worth it to ensure the safety of our students.
Hear from Our Families

“Socializing is hard, interacting with others can be overwhelming, and even maintaining balance is a challenge. I want Pablo to feel calm, safe, and accepted. I truly believe that being around the horses will help him feel more regulated and less anxious. I think riding will help. Most of all, I want him to feel like he belongs somewhere.”

"The scholarships available have made it possible for me to meet both a need and a want in my daughter's life. Without the generosity of donors, the progress my daughter has made towards independence would have been much slower. She probably wouldn't have the confidence to try hard things without the encouragement she receives at the Red Barn."

"We are thankful for the Red Barn and the people who make this possible. It’s a gift for our daughter and for us as a family. She loves animals and riding is her special sport that only she does in our family. She attends football and running events for brothers and it’s really special when they attend her horse show where she can shine."
