Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities for ages 15 and over at Spirit’s Promise Equine Rescue are now limited to our Membership program. All volunteers, members and employees over the age of 18 are required to complete a Sterling Volunteer Background Check. This includes a Nationwide Criminal History Search, Department of Justice (DOJ) Sex Offender Search and Terrorist Watch List (OFAC) search.
Since its founding, Spirit's Promise Equine Rescue has gone from a small non-profit, sheltering a few horses, to a full-scale, well respected regional rescue and rehabilitation facility. This success would not have been possible without the hard work of many dedicated volunteers.
Volunteers provide over 20,000 hours of service each year helping to rescue and rehabilitate horses, educating the community about equine abuse and neglect, and raising funds to provide for future equine program needs. Spirit's Promise offers a wide range of volunteer options, giving volunteers of all ages and abilities the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of abused and neglected horses.
