Join the WindWalkers Volunteer Community
At WindWalkers, volunteers are the heart of the mission. Whether you’re retired, a student, or someone with time during the day looking to give back, we welcome you to be a part of something meaningful.
Volunteering at WindWalkers is more than helping out—it’s being part of something greater.
Be a part of a supportive, giving community where your time makes a real difference.
Connect with people and horses in a peaceful, purpose-driven environment
Learn new skills, enjoy time outdoors, and help create positive change
Who can volunteer?
We welcome individuals ages 12 to 82, whether you’re a student, a retiree, or someone with free time during the day. No previous horse experience is required—just a willingness to show up, pitch in, and be part of our mission.
WindWalkers serves individuals of all ages with physical, cognitive, emotional, and social needs.
Through equine-assisted services, we help clients build confidence, resilience, and connection in a safe and supportive environment. The ripple effect strengthens families, classrooms, and our entire community.
