Volunteer Opportunities

Horse Haven of Tennessee relies on dedicated volunteers to help care for rescued horses and support our programs. All volunteers must attend a New Volunteer Orientation before getting started.

Barn Team Member

Barn Team Members assist with feeding, watering, turnout, stall cleaning, and general horse care. Volunteers must be at least 14 years old, commit to a minimum of three months, and have reliable transportation. Volunteers ages 14–16 must be accompanied by an adult volunteer. Prior horse experience is helpful but not required.

Barn Team Leader

Barn Team Leaders oversee daily barn operations and support volunteer teams during feeding shifts. This position is available to experienced volunteers who have demonstrated leadership, reliability, and proficiency in barn procedures. Team Leaders must be at least 21 years old and attend periodic leadership meetings.

Special Events

Volunteers are also needed throughout the year to assist with fundraising events and community outreach activities. Opportunities may include event setup, registration, games, decorating, and guest assistance.
