Description of Volunteering
Thank you for your interest in volunteering with 7 Star.
Our volunteers are one of the most important members of the team here at 7 Star.

Duties include both side-walking and leading horses during sessions.

Side Walking: Side-walkers walk alongside the horse and the client helping to assist and stabilize the client during a session.

Leading: Leaders lead the horse throughout the session. When doing either of these duties you will be a crucial part of achieving our mission to enhance the lives of individuals through equine-assisted therapy by facilitating healing of the mind, body, and spirit through the grace and strength of the horse.
