Volunteer
Why volunteer at Pegasus?
Volunteers are a vital and necessary support to Pegasus Project programs. Without volunteer involvement, Pegasus Project would not be able to adequately carry out its services. In a typical lesson, three volunteers are needed to assist one individual rider. Over 75 volunteers are needed to assist riders in lessons each week! Pegasus Project is always in need of more lesson volunteers to fill such roles as sidewalker and horse leader.
Ways you can volunteer
Classes are currently being offered 3 days a week, Monday through Wednesday, with opportunities to choose a day and time that best fits your schedule. Long term commitments are always valued since experienced lesson volunteers provide stability and familiarity with riders' goals and needs. We also offer many important non-lesson volunteer opportunities.
If you would like to take the next step toward becoming a Pegasus Project volunteer, please contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Michelle Chalfant, at gchalfant@charter.net or (509) 969-3310. You may also submit a completed Volunteer Application (PDF 37k) for consideration in our next scheduled Orientation and/or Leader Training.
