Volunteer Support Program
Spring
Hill aims to fulfill its mission by providing an inclusive volunteer
environment. Our organization is stronger for embracing those who share
its commitment to helping not only horses but other animals in need as
well. We also understand the importance of reaching out to all of
Vermonts communities that are not aware of Spring Hill and its mission.
We
consider volunteers a valued resource. Our volunteers are given meaningful
duties, treated fairly, supervised effectively and recognized for the
important services they provide. In return, we expect them to perform
their duties to the best of their abilities and to remain loyal to the
mission of Spring Hill.
Volunteers
play many essential roles in the mission of the rescue program. Not only
can they work with the animals but they also contribute to the education
and outreach programs that enable Spring Hill to expand its reach.
Many
benefits of volunteering here are intangible: gaining knowledge about the
care and handling of horses, learning new skills, meeting people with
similar interests and contributing to an important cause.
