VOLUNTEERING OPPORTUNITIES

New Volunteers: Due to the nature of handling animals and horses especially, it takes valuable time and energy to train FFR Volunteers. That's why we are looking for long term Fuzzy Faces Teammates to be part of our family. If you are looking for a permanent place to volunteer long term, FFR is the perfect fit for you!

Freedom Steps Volunteering
Volunteers with therapeutic riding sessions. Please read our Volunteer Guide for a more comprehensive understanding of what volunteering for our Freedom Steps program looks like.

*While knowledge of horse handling and care are a huge plus, it is not required. Freedom Steps holds regular Volunteer Training days to help teach new volunteers and to refresh current volunteers on the most up to date safety protocols. Training sessions are scheduled after your application is submitted and approved.

AnimalCare

Animal Care Volunteering
Animal Care Volunteers help with feeding and caring for the animals at the refuge. Animal Care activity takes place on a private schedule and includes feeding the animals, removal of animal waste from habitats, and other basic animal care. These volunteering opportunities take place morning and late afternoon. Spaces for Animal Care volunteers are limited to ensure a positive stress-free environment for both animals and people.

These positions are for those who can commit to a regular, long term schedule.

*New volunteers will have the opportunity to train and learn at their own pace. Animal Care training sessions are scheduled after your application is submitted and approved.
