Volunteer application

The information you provide on this application will be reviewed by our volunteer manager and may be shared with our volunteer program committee. We will not share this information with anyone outside of our organization, however if there is sensitive information that you would prefer to discuss in person, please note that in the appropriate section of the application.

If you would like to volunteer to assist with programs, Groundwork Ranch may complete a background check, and you may be asked to pay the $20 cost of that check. We will discuss this in more detail during orientation.

Please note, we take the privacy of our volunteers seriously. We never share our volunteers’ private information, but we do occasionally share their names with program participants and other community partners. We also take photographs of our activities and events, and volunteers may be included in candid photos that are used in printed promotional materials, social media, or other online venues.

Our commitment to an inclusive community: We welcome volunteers from all walks of life and are committed to fostering an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. We celebrate the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences that each person (and equine) brings to our work. We ask that all volunteers share our commitment to treating every individual — regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or background — with dignity and respect. Our community thrives when everyone feels safe and welcome, and we expect all volunteers to help us uphold that standard.
