🍂 Volunteer All Call! 🍂

As the weather starts to cool down and school is underway, we’re excited to bring back Wednesday afternoon sessions starting mid September! That means more smiles, more horse time, and more opportunities to be part of something meaningful.

Volunteering at CHAPS is more than lending a hand, it’s about building community, creating connections, and witnessing lives grow and flourish through the joy of horses.

Whether you’ve been with us before or are looking to join in, we’d love to have you on the team.

🐴 Come lend a hand, share in the fun, and feel the rewards of giving back.

👉 Sign up today through our Volunteer Portal�https://www.chapscenter.com/volunteer

"I have been volunteering at CHAPS for over seven years and they have become my second family. It is the highlight of the week seeing the students blossom, interacting with the other volunteers, and handling the horses. Finally, I cannot overstate my appreciation to the people who make this possible "

Turns out it’s not just the ducks who love the pond… Ace decided to dip his toes in too! 🐴 🦆😁

☀️ Sweet Ace was soaking up his day off with a nap in the sunshine today 🐴 Our horses are so good at their jobs, and we love seeing them get to rest, relax, and just be horses. 💛

Sometimes words aren’t needed 💛 Just a quiet moment, a gentle hand, and the understanding between horse and human.

Sometimes it's in these small connections that the biggest magic happens. 🐴✨

Here’s to many more happy, hay filled days, Jed, you’re a legend in our herd! 💛
