Why Volunteer?
It is an extremely rewarding experience to work with our riders.

No matter what volunteer activity you wish to pursue, Shining Hope Farms provides a wonderful opportunity to meet new friends, learn more about our program and horses, be active in the community and make an unforgettable difference in the lives of others.

Corporate/Group Impact Days
We’re so grateful that your group is interested in volunteering at Shining Hope Farms’ Impact Day events. We will work to create an event whose impact speaks to your corporation’s mission statement.
We usually have several activities for the group to be doing, depending on the needs of the programs and the nonprofit organization. For example, we need help with the following tasks: horse-care related activities, gardening type activities, building, fencing, and some general maintenance and cleaning of the facility. We try to allow our volunteers to assist in the activities that they enjoy.
