Manes & Motions is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the well-being of children and adults living with physical, cognitive and/or emotional special needs through the benefits of equine-assisted services. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated through our affiliation with Hospital for Special Care, and as a premier accredited center through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.). Manes & Motions is seeking dedicated and compassionate community members, 14 years of age and older, who are interested in volunteering at the center. Volunteering is a great way to meet new friends, spend time with horses and help others. Volunteers play an integral role in the success of our program as we would be unable to provide our services without the help and support of our volunteers. There are many volunteer roles to choose from, with the most significant need being for sidewalkers and horse leaders in the adaptive riding program. The center operates year-round, Tuesday through Saturday. The typical volunteer commitment is one class per week, the same day and time each week for a semester.

Art is an important factor in rebuilding lives. It creates an inviting and calming environment that is therapeutic for patients, staff and visitors. Patients get the opportunity to express their emotions through creativity, stimulate their mind and feel joy during their hospital stay. The Joy of Art! program hosts exhibitions throughout the year and supports art groups and activities that helps patients feel engaged with the community. Art is integrated into patient care, providing holistic patient-centered healing. We host in-house juried and non-juried art exhibitions throughout the year, featuring artwork from community artists, employees, and patients. We support art groups for patients run by volunteers and recreation therapists. We host workshops, performances, cultural events and more. Our art collection is comprised of an array of donated artwork that is displayed in care areas, offices and hallways. Volunteers needed to assist in tracking, maintaining and updating the art inventory, attend monthly meetings, and assist with Joy of Art events.
