AHRE is a 501(3)c nonprofit run 100% by volunteers. ​

Volunteers are needed to help care for the horses, aid in the fundraising activities, work with the horses to prepare them for adoption, clean stalls and much more! Our volunteers are our greatest asset because they get things done!

Becoming a Volunteer

We have created a training path that will get you started right away. It gradually steps up in difficulty to bring you closer to the horses and improve your handling skills. At each step of the path you will have our volunteer coordinator helping you.
The volunteer commitment is 3 months; either 4 days or 10 hours each month at the stable must be completed by all Beginner Barn Buddies in order to move up to Intermediate Barn Volunteer.
​
If a volunteer is under 18 years of age, a parent or guardian must also complete a volunteer application and agreement form. Volunteers in this category must be accompanied by an adult.

Maybe you can't lift 50 lbs but you would still like to help. We also offer light duty activities like grain portioning and tack cleaning.
Do you have special skills? Volunteers can support in multiple areas.
Adoption/Fostering (screening, listing, call references, site checks)
Horse Training (working with horses - advanced skills required)
Marketing (open houses, website, social media)
