How To Help
VolunteerStrengthen the community
It takes a team to change a life—be part of ours.
At Horse Sense for Kids, we believe in the quiet strength of horses and the incredible resilience of children. Every day, we witness transformations—shy smiles growing into confidence, anxious hearts calming beside a trusted horse. But none of it happens without our team of dedicated volunteers.
Whether you’re more comfortable behind the scenes or out in the paddock, there’s a place for you here.
Volunteering at HSFK isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about showing up in a way that fits your skills, your schedule, and your heart. Every role plays a part in helping children thrive—whether you’re supporting a riding lesson, keeping the grounds safe, crafting a social media post, or writing thank-you notes to donors.
When you give your time, you help a child feel seen. You help a horse stay healthy. You help our programs grow stronger.
