Volunteering at Red Bell Run

what volunteers do for us

It goes without saying that there are many tasks that are involved in the everyday functioning of a non-profit organization that cares for 150+ special equines! A love of animals and a willingness to put them first while you are on property are key attributes that we are looking for in our volunteers. We train our staff and volunteers in the proper and safe way to handle equines with special attention to how each animal’s specific history may shape his responses to care and attention.

The possibilities here to learn and help are almost limitless!

Some examples are:

• Grooming
• Stall Cleaning
• Farm Maintenance
• Machinery and vehicle maintenance
• Tours
• Office Work
• Off-site Events
• Assist with special events
• Assist with special projects
• Animal Enrichment Programs
