Volunteer Opportunities
Twin Rivers Saddle Club runs on volunteer power. Our directors and board members are all volunteers and many hours are logged behind the scenes to provide members and spectators with a safe, quality, and fun-filled show series.
Below is a list of volunteer opportunities that are standard for every show. Please review these positions to see which job suits your interests and skills. Commitment and punctuality is a must, as we depend on these volunteers to run the show.
Volunteer for the morning, the afternoon, the entire day, or the complete show season – all efforts are appreciated. We’re happy to fill out any school-assigned volunteer forms, or provide proof of earned volunteer hours. To learn more, e-mail [email protected].
