Saving Grace Farm, Inc
Saving Grace Farm always has opportunities for ongoing volunteers who are interested in horses, helping with children, and helping people with special needs. Volunteers typically do a 1.5-hour training and then help 1 or more hours a week for 8 weeks, continuing if they so choose. These are great opportunities for students to learn about compassion, helping others, giving back. Horses are also great teachers of respect, trust, leadership, and other valuable life skills. If volunteers are looking for a one-time opportunity, we may have options to help do cleaning or organizing projects around the farm. Please contact office@savinggracefarm.com or 704-209-6577 for more information. Volunteer forms can be found on our website at www.savinggracefarm.com.
