There are many opportunities to help River Valley Riders by donating your time and talents. We welcome your involvement! We have a team of dedicated volunteers, highly trained certified instructors and gentle horses that allow us to provide therapeutic horseback riding and carriage driving lessons to children and adults with special needs. We are privileged to work with a caring, patient and strong community of people. As a volunteer with River Valley Riders, you're a co-owner in the mission and vision of what we're doing each and every week.
Our programs require over 200 volunteers each week. We hope you will join us for volunteer training in April 2018!
