ORGANIZATION: STARZ EQUESTRIAN CENTER

image_20241230194525

We need you to assist in our weekly therapeutic horseback riding serving a multitude of rider's with special needs. Volunteers first need to attend an orientation to make sure that classes can be conducted safely and then volunteers are free to schedule themselves when they are available! It's ok if you don't have experience with horses....all of our volunteers start out as sidewalkers so you get a chance to learn how we do things! Come make a difference in your community and put a smile in a saddle!

Description

Starz Equestrian Center was founded in 2020 to do more within the community than existing programs were doing. We are creating a premier equestrian community center in Oakland County and serving the tricounty area however we find that horses can help our community (therapeutic horseback riding for disabilities, Girl Scout programs, grief outreach, abuse survivors, Veterans and PTSD clients) as well as partnering with local nonprofits such as Detroit Horsepower and Camp Casey to further our outreach in the community.
