General Helper - Riding for the Disabled
About this opportunity
Volunteers are integral to the RDA program and, while new volunteers offering experience is helpful, it is not essential as training will be provided.
Volunteers with RDA SA commit to as little or as much time as they have available. And there are jobs for everyone.
Roles include horse leaders and sidewalkers (walking beside the horse to assist the rider if necessary), coaches, poo-pickers, handy-persons to help with grounds maintenance, fundraisers, office workers, and volunteer coordinator.
RDA SA accepts volunteers between the ages of 13 and 90. We love that our volunteers bring a wide range of experiences and talents.
If you are interested in joining our dedicated team of volunteers we would love to hear from you!
