- a certified instructor,
- a co-facilitator/note-taker, and
- one or more equine managers
Volunteers certified or licensed by recognized equine training/instruction organizations and/or mental wellness counseling organizations are welcome to apply for Certified Instructor or Co-Facilitator/Note-Taker roles.
