Can I volunteer if I haven’t worked with horses in the past?
Absolutely! You are welcome to help the senior horses in whatever ways are comfortable for you. You can begin your volunteer efforts doing chores that do not deal directly with the horses, such as cleaning stalls or maintaining water tanks. If you like, you can then begin learning to work with the horses themselves, grooming, feeding, or helping during vet visits, for example. You can also help with jobs, like fundraising or writing educational handouts, that don’t require a visit to the farm.Participation is all up to you. Some parents find that their work commitments don’t allow them the opportunity of participating in different aspects of the preschool. Other parents can, whether it’s hanging out during ‘outdoor play’ time or becoming involved as a board member.
Are there some jobs or fields that are better suited to people with CP than others?
Yes, there are. Those jobs or fields include legal, accounting, music, art, administration, research, advocacy, entrepreneur, secretaries, web design, computer professionals, fundraising, education - to name a few.

Why do we need a full-time resident campaign director if we already have a development director?
It is terribly difficult to plan and direct a successful capital campaign. There is so much to accomplish that it cannot all be done, even with a capable institutional director of development and a professional resident campaign director. Both will leave the office late on Friday nights, work extra on the weekends, and return early on Monday mornings-all because there is so much work that neither of them believes it possible to get it all done.It is terribly difficult to plan and direct a successful capital campaign.
