"That
best portion of a good man's life,
His
little, nameless, unremembered acts,
Of
kindness and of love..." -
William Wordsworth
Aside from the
riders and horses, volunteers are the single most important part of
our program...the success of our program depends on people like you
volunteering their time and energy! You don’t have to be a
“horse” person to help, or have any experience with persons with
disabilities...we will train you.
If you have a
few hours of time and the desire to do something positive for your
community, we need you! Any amount of time given is well-spent, and you will receive the
reward of knowing that you have been an important part of a special person's
life. You will very likely also find that it's great for
your body & soul, too! We ask each
volunteer to sign up for one class, which is a time commitment of
about 1 1/2 hours per week for the six-week session (of course,
you can always help with more than one if you want!)
Volunteers are always needed for Sessions & for help around the
stables!
Check our calendar for the training
schedules!
It's
never too early to sign up! To volunteer for the upcoming
session, or
for
more information, contact Program Mgr./Volunteer Coordinator Sara Brown

miles_of_smiles@sbcglobal.net
We hold training
at
The Miles of Smiles Barn, 901 W. Maple Street in Garden City. This
informational &
hands-on training session will prepare new
volunteers to assist with our riding lessons.
To ensure the quality & safety of our
program, all new volunteers must attend
a training session in order
to help with the riding/vaulting lessons!
ATTENTION
