We tentatively hold monthly volunteer orientations, every third Saturday. RSVP to [email protected] to save your spot!
Volunteering for a horse rescue can be both physically and emotionally difficult but the benefits far outweigh the challenges. Helping a horse go from near starvation to a happy, healthy home can be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life. And, the best part is you only need two things help, a big heart and a willingness to help.
Volunteering at SOFE is a wonderful family experience. Make it a family event!! All volunteers under the age of 18 must have a waiver formed signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Young volunteers between the ages of 13 through 15 may volunteer without the supervision of their parent or guardian. Depending on the minor, a parent or guardian may be required to be present with the minor. All volunteers that are 16 and older may represent themselves when volunteering.
Any minor below the age of 13 will require the minor’s parent or guardian to accompany them.
