Volunteers help keep the Center running!

Without the generosity of our volunteers, the Center would be hard-pressed to offer affordable lessons to our clients.  If there's an opportunity here that interests you, we'd be glad to have you lend a hand.  Call us at 951-734-6300 or email us at queenofheartsranch@earthlink.net

Lesson Volunteers
Under the direction of the instructors, lesson volunteers fulfilll a variety of assignments, including leading and sidewalking.  Under the direction of the stable manager, volunteers may also help with the care of horses and tack.  Because we must ensure consistency in the way our horses are handled, all lesson volunteers go through a training process, regardless of prior experience.

Office Volunteers
Under the direction of the office manager, office volunteers assist in administrative functions such as copying, data entry, mailing, answering phones, computer programming, research and so on.  Previous office experience is helpful.

Fund-raising Volunteers
Working with the executive director and the event chair, our fund-raising volunteers plan and staff the special events that help support the Center.  They also assist with grant-writing, corporate gift solicitation, and membership letter-writing.  An outgoing personality and willingness to pitch in are essential!

Maintenance Volunteers
Under the direction of the program director, the maintenence volunteers perform routine repair and upkeep of the facilities such as stable management, tree trimming, and landscaping.  They may also assist in development projects such as building a new tack room, developing a sprinkler system, upgrading the barn and hay shed, and building wash racks.  Previous maintenance experience and tools are helpful.

Medical Volunteers
Some of our riders have limited income, and no regular physical or occupational therapists. Medical volunteers help by evaluating prospective riders, at no charge, prior to entry into the program.  They may also assist the program director in developing a specific riding program for these riders.
