Volunteer!

** Calling all Volunteers - We need your help!  Volunteers are desperately needed to side walk and lead during the Fall riding sessions. Please call us at 815-439-3659 if you are able help.**

Ready Set Ride volunteers are an integral part of the therapy sessions.  We make every effort to ensure each volunteer is welcomed and allowed to expand their interests. If you love horses or love kids, this is the perfect opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children with disabilities like Autism, Cerebral Palsy and Down Syndrome.   Volunteers must be at least 13 years of age, and no prior equine experience is required.  Adult volunteers are especially in need. 

Volunteers have an easy time becoming acquainted at the barn due to a wonderful staff eager to show you the ropes.   Volunteering can be done individually or by groups.  For groups efforts, we provide daily tasks and/or small projects. There's no shortage of chores, so please let us know what interests you'd like to pursue.

Volunteers in Action! 

Barn Clean-up Project - on May 24th, several individuals donated part of their weekend to Ready Set Ride.  As a result of this combined effort, we completed a number of much-needed projects on the Barn and surrounding property.  A very special “THANKS” goes out to Jim & Debby Weck of J.K. Construction in Plainfield for supplying the Bobcat to move all the heavy materials.  For a slide show of the days efforts, click here.  Tip:  to advance each slide, press page down.

Whether you’re able to volunteer  an hour each week or stay for an entire day of sessions, we appreciate the time and talents you're able to contribute.   Because of our Volunteers, barn doors at Ready Set Ride remain open!  For more information on volunteering please call us at 815-439-3659, e-mail us at admin@readysetride.org or submit the form below:
