Information for those interested in volunteering
To volunteer with us, individuals must meet several requirements. First, volunteers must be at least 12 years old, demonstrating a level of maturity and responsibility. They should also possess a willingness to work closely with both people and horses, as our programs often involve interaction with both. Volunteers must attend orientation sessions to familiarize themselves with our organization's mission, policies, and procedures. Additionally, they must be capable of completing necessary paperwork and registration online, ensuring smooth administrative processes. Physical requirements include being able to walk for up to 3 hours with minimal breaks, as some of our activities involve outdoor tasks. These requirements ensure that our volunteers are well-prepared to contribute effectively to our programs and support our community.
“Banbury Cross has been a special place in the lives of my family. As much as my schedule has allowed, I have volunteered since 2015, mostly in setting up for the annual Summer Horse show. Each year, no matter how much time I can give, I have always been received with the utmost gratitude. I struggle to think of a more rewarding experience than helping prepare the barn for this event that lets their riders know how amazing they are.” -Shaun Strack
