VOLUNTEER WITH VEWS
VEWS is an all-volunteer non-profit organization. Our volunteers are vital to fulfilling our mission, and we are always looking for dedicated and compassionate horse lovers to help care for our rescue horses!
If you have a passion for horses, a desire to learn, and would like to join our devoted team of volunteers, please submit a volunteer application today!
Due to the nature of working with an rehabilitating abused horses we cannot accept volunteers under the age of 14. Minor volunteers MUST have a parent sign their liability release form and must be accompanied each shift by an adult until they are able to work independently.
