What is the time commitment for a therapeutic program volunteer?

The minimum requirement for volunteering with our therapeutic program is 2 hours per week. This can be either 10 a.m - 12 p.m. or 1 - 3 p.m.

Do I need a criminal record check?

Yes, we require all volunteers to get a criminal record check. We will give each new volunteer a letter to take to either the LRPS or RCMP depending on which jurisdiction that you live in. LTRA will pay for this check.

I am interested in volunteering but I don't have a lot of horse experience.

As long as you are not fearful of working with horses, we can help orient the skills needed.

I am not comfortable around horses. Is there work that I can do that does not involve being close to the horses?

There are always projects around the farm that require volunteers that don't involve working with horses. As you spend more time with us you may find that you will want to become more directly involved with them.
