Volunteer at Our Sanctuary
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to volunteer for a horse rescue and sanctuary? Do you love horses but can’t have any of your own? Have you volunteered for equine rescue and sanctuary in the past and would like to again?
This may be your opportunity! Our efforts continue to grow, and we are looking for individuals who want to spend time helping the horses. There are many projects that need to be done, whether you like the outdoors and want to help build or paint fences, work in the office, help with a fundraiser event, or come and learn how to care for the horses, we welcome you!
Please complete the Volunteer Information form and the Waiver form below and one of our volunteers will contact you. Thank you for your interest in helping us help them!
The form and payment must be submitted the Friday (One week) prior to the orientation class you want to attend in order to reserve your seat in the class. Failure to complete the form, submission of payment one week prior to the orientation, and confirmation from Jackie Cuyler, our Volunteer Coordinator as to your attendance will result in delaying your participation.

Youth Program
*Our youth program is currently on hold.
Our Youth Program is designed to enlighten young people about the current plight of the American horse, provide physical activity away from computers and television, and teach responsibility, compassion, and the innate connection between humans, horses, and nature.
For Parents: As someone who has taught effective parenting methods for 40 years, I want to point out to you the benefits of training and encouraging your children to think of the needs of others, including animals. Read More Of This Article By Carolyn Crowder, PhD.

Desert Christian Middle Students Visit Equine Voices
On Thursday, March 14th middle school students from Desert Christian Middle School visited Equine Voices. They toured the property with guide Diane Russell, visited with our rescued horses and learned their stories. They also were of service to us, accomplishing their own mission during service week while learning about our mission of horse rescue and giving a “voice to the voiceless.”
We truly enjoyed having you here, Ms. Foxworthy and students, and hope to see you again soon!
Volunteer Notes
I wanted to let you know how much I’ve been enjoying the 2-4 pm shift with Jean. She is such an excellent manager and I feel so comfortable working under her leadership. The sense of peace and contentedness I gain from volunteering at Equine Voices is a rare gift, as is the opportunity to contribute to the well-being of the horses. Thank you for your efforts and caring spirit.– Heidi
