Opportunities From: Volunteer DBQ

Volunteer: Child Mentor

Child mentors are the main support for the children we serve.  They greet families as they arrive at the barn and maintain connection with their assigned child for the duration of their lesson.  They give encouragement, reinforce directions, provide hand-over-hand demonstration to help the child learn skills, help the instructor as needed, provide physical support for children needing this, and most of all create a lasting bond with an incredible child as they learn an amazing skill.  No horse experience is necessary.  You must be over the age of 14 to participate.  A positive attitude, encouraging spirit and desire to help another person is all that is required!
