White Horse Youth Ranch (WHY Ranch) is a nonprofit youth organization providing a safe place for socially challenged children to experience personal healing through horse therapy.
We rely on volunteers starting at 13 years of age and older to help our ranch staff with the daily task list, as well as miscellaneous jobs that arise. Some of the tasks that we need assistance in are:
Barn chores, Fundraising, special ranch events, facility projects.
Times for Barn Chores are Mon-Sunday 7am-10am & 6pm-8pm. Other Volunteer Opportunities are flexible.
