Love Horses? Volunteer with a Local Horse Rescue!

Ashland VA

Description

The Virginia Equine Welfare Society, Inc. (VEWS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all volunteer based Virginia corporation working to prevent equine abuse and neglect. Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate equines in need and to prevent equine abuse and neglect through education and community awareness. We provide safe housing, medical and rehabilitation services to abused neglected, abandoned, unwanted and other at-risk equines and eventually, at the appropriate time, place them into caring, compatible adoptive homes. We are currently seeking enthusiastic volunteers to help with the daily care of our horses and light farm maintenance tasks. This includes (but is not limited to): feeding, grooming, and field maintenance. There are other opportunities for folks to help on our fundraising team as well. No experience is required, but due to the nature of horse rescue, you must be 14 or older to volunteer! ***We are currently seeking weekday morning volunteers only as we have a waiting list for weekend volunteers. Our available shifts are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning shifts; they start between 8:30am and 9:15am and last about 1.5 hours for each shift.*** Please see our website at https://www.virginiaequinewelfare.org/volunteer.

Thank you for your interest in our organization!
