A Non-Program Volunteer is a volunteer who is interested in farm work, barn and stable maintenance, landscaping, gardening, and fundraising events. (There is no age requirement for Non-Program Volunteers, however children under 14 need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.) SHAR is a 90 acre farm with, at times 24 horses to take care of. There are many daily chores such as stall cleaning, paper shredding and manure pick up that require help. Throughout the year there are always fences to be repaired, tree pruning and wood cutting to be done. A Registration Form is to be completed before volunteering can begin; however, there is no registration fee for Non-Program Volunteers.
