Faith N Friends offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for people of all ages, abilities, and experience levels who want to help prevent equine abuse and neglect.

Interested in bringing your coworkers, riding club, scout troop, or community group? We welcome group volunteer days by appointment. Please email faith@faithnfriends.org for more information. All volunteers must complete both the Volunteer Form and the Liability Waiver. First-time volunteers are required to submit both forms before volunteering. Returning volunteers only need to resubmit the liability waiver annually. These electronic forms can be easily completed on your phone or computer. Volunteers under age 18 must have a parent or guardian complete and sign the forms. Please ensure all fields are filled out—enter “N/A” where appropriate, as the form will not allow submission with incomplete sections. Prospective volunteers must attend Volunteer Orientation, held on the second Saturday of each month from 10:30 AM–12:00 PM at the farm. Please monitor our Facebook page for announcements or message us for additional information. Note: Volunteers of all ages are welcome. Volunteers under age 13 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian while on the property or at events. Please include any family members ages 17 and under on the liability waiver if they may participate or accompany you. Each adult (18 and older) must complete their own liability waiver, but you may list all participating family members on one volunteer application.
