Hands On Learning and Connection
The New Volunteer Orientation is the next step after attending a Volunteer Open House. It is designed to help you feel prepared, supported, and connected as you begin your volunteer journey with Equellness.
This experience blends at home learning with in person, hands on practice. Volunteers review the Volunteer Manual in advance and complete required reading and reflection questions on their own time. The in person session is then used to practice, experience, and ask questions in a supportive environment.
During Orientation, you will learn Equellness day to day volunteer procedures, including sign in and sign out processes, review the Volunteer Handbook and deepen your understanding of the material, and explore the many ways to volunteer, including opportunities beyond working directly with horses. You will also enjoy a gentle meet and greet with our equine herd, guided by Equellness principles.
This session is interactive and supportive, designed to bring the Equellness philosophy to life so that what you learn is not just understood, but embodied and experienced together.
We are grateful for your interest in sharing your time and talents with Equellness. Together, we create a safe and compassionate space where horses support growth, strengthen connection, and inspire well being.
