Volunteer at the Horse Park

Volunteers make a real difference here.

We treasure our incredible tradition of volunteerism at The Horse Park at Woodside. From the Park’s earliest days to today, the generous gifts of individuals’ time and energy boost our organization and its spectacular environs. We maintain limited staff to contain costs so we rely on volunteers at multiple levels, including: Board of Governors, public committees, project leaders, special event coordinators and hands-on helpers for land management, equestrian events and Park development activities.

Would you like to volunteer at the Park? Please reach out for upcoming opportunities for individuals or groups. We have seasonal projects for many ages and can help students earn community service hours.

If you would like to volunteer for therapeutic riding specifically, please contact B.O.K. Ranch, a standalone non-profit organization operating here at the Park. B.O.K. independently manages its separate volunteer program.
