We love our volunteers!

Do you love events?

We have many special events that need volunteer support throughout the year. If you see something that interests you, contact Katie! 

• #Horsepower500 (May 2021 at Children’s TherAplay): Set-up and tear-down, welcome guests, man activity booths, sell t-shirts 
   
• Golf Event (June 2021 at Wood Wind Golf Club): Come out and help with set-up, registration, taking pictures, or tear-down.
   
• Sibling Camp (June 2021 at Children’s TherAplay): We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help organize the event, serve as group leaders / camp counselors, and oversee activity stations.​​​​​​​

• Hoe-Down (September 2021 at Children’s TherAplay) : Set-up volunteers help hang banners, clean, set-up, and decorate. “Night of” volunteers assist with bartending (for those who have a bartender’s permit), registration and volunteer check-in, general clean-up, parking, live auction spotters, and directing traffic.   

Wondering if volunteering at Children’s TherAplay is a good fit for you?

• Age: Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age and able to work independently without close supervision. 
   
• Location: With the exception of a few special events and weekend projects, volunteering takes place on-site at Children’s TherAplay and during regular office hours: 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Fridays. 
   
• Equine experience: No previous experience needed, however if you are interested in sidewalking you must be comfortable walking alongside our horses in the arena.

• Groups: We have space for a limited number of large groups but smaller groups of 5–10 adults are a better fit. Most group volunteering opportunities at Children’s TherAplay take place in the lead-up to our special events.
