Volunteer program
We cannot do this without you! Many hands make light work, and there are numerous moving parts to ensure that our youth and families are invested in, camps run smoothly, animals are cared for and the property is maintained to name a few!
If you have a heart to serve, our Volunteer Program provides various lanes and opportunities to give of your time and talent. We ask all Adult and Youth Volunteers to make a 1-year commitment of at least one day per week.
Youth Volunteer Program
Youth ages 10-18 are assigned one day from the Tuesday or Thursday 3:30-5:30pm option. All youth must complete a volunteer application, tour, and interview to ensure it is a mutual fit for both parties. Due to the current demand and wait list of our Youth Volunteer Program, if youth volunteers are absent more than 3-weeks in a row (due to sport schedules, etc.), we will fill the spot with a youth on our waiting list. If you are interested in our Internship Program (Age 18. 3–6-month, full-time commitment), click here.
Lead Volunteer-Mentorship Program
We are looking for adults to mentor and build relationships with the youth that come to 2CYR. If you are interested in overseeing chores and investing in our youth on an individual basis by speaking encouragement and God's love into their hearts, please contact us to schedule an interview.
Horse Care/Training
Horses need interaction on a regular basis. If you have experience and are looking to work with horses, we may have a spot for you!
Horses eat a lot of hay and produce a lot of manure! This is a big need on the ranch.
Regular grooming is necessary as well.
Landscaping/Gardening
12 acres is a lot of grass! If you enjoy mowing or weed-whipping, maintaining flower beds, or cleaning-up the grounds, you have found your happy-place!
Come out when it is convenient for you!
Construction Projects
We are always looking for specialists who desire to give of their time and talent to help maintain a standard of excellence regarding the property and daily operations: from electrical, plumbing, to framing. We have uncompleted projects that include, but are not limited to, fencing, wiring lights, or simply painting!
To Get Started Volunteering:
To get started volunteering, complete our volunteer application and waiver, send it to us via email (contact@2ndchanceyouthranch.com) or snail mail, then contact us to schedule your interview!
