Small Group Instructors, Supervisors and Mentors – BRF small group assessments, training sessions and small group programs require volunteers who can commit to provide supervision and assistance on specific dates. This is a hands-on role working directly with our youth. These roles require participation for several hours on one day–typically Saturdays–or to a program with several pre-set dates. Volunteers may serve at as many sessions as their schedules allow. Some brief training is provided, but no license or credentials are required.  Experience in education, equine therapy, social work, youth programming, or farm and livestock operations is especially helpful.

Peer-To-Peer Volunteers – Experienced interns and graduates may be invited to serve as mentors, coaches or trainers to support other young people participating in one of our programs.
