Ranch Hand Volunteer

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: CAMELOT THERAPEUTIC HORSEMANSHIP INC

Image_202305021021

Our volunteer ranch hands assist in maintaining a clean and safe environment for our students, horses, volunteers, and staff. Specific duties include stall cleaning, feeding and watering of livestock, some light grooming duties if appropriate, and other light barn chores such as sweeping or cleaning tack and equipment. Many of our volunteer ranch hands really enjoy the opportunity to work with their hands and see an immediate change-in stark contrast to their "real" jobs.

Requirements for this position include:

  • Ability to bend, reach, and lift
  • Ability to use basic ranch tools safely

Ranch hands volunteer 1 morning per week (Monday through Friday) for approximately 2 hours. Start time varies by season, and is typically 7:30 AM during warmer months, and 8:30 AM during the fall and winter. We provide orientation, which includes a tour of the facility, introduction to the horses, basic instruction in the use of our tools and equipment, and a volunteer manual.

Mission Statement

Camelot’s mission is to improve the quality of life for children and adults with disabilities through programs of horsemanship and outdoor education, which develop self-worth, independence, and active participation in the community.

Description

Since its inception in 1980, Camelot has offered one-on-one education, with instruction tailored to the individual needs of our students. Camelot specializes in serving riders with physical disabilities, and our students learn riding, driving, grooming, training, vet care, and stable management.

Camelot is located on 14.25 acres of the Sonoran Desert in the Pinnacle Peak area of Arizona. Our barrier-free, wheelchair-accessible facility makes it possible for students to saddle, ride, and groom our horses with minimal help.

The Camelot philosophy is that everyone faces personal dragons, yet every person is a potential dragon-slayer. The most intimidating obstacles can be vanquished with love and courage. Camelot provides the opportunity and support to succeed.
