Agape seeks new volunteers
GREENFIELD – Agape needs “your boots in the barn” and is having a volunteer blitz to find new helpers.
Agape Therapeutic Riding Resources serves people and groups of all ages who have a physical, emotional, social or cognitive disability by partnering with horses to provide therapeutic riding lessons and equine-assisted learning experiences. The Greenfield organization needs a team of volunteers to assist with a variety of tasks ranging from being a horse-handler, sidewalking during classes, and feeding horses, to helping with property maintenance and various other projects.
No prior horse experience is needed; volunteers will be trained. Monthly, weekly or one-time volunteer shifts are used based on the volunteer’s availability.
