AHEAD With Horses is devoted to improving the quality of life of disabled, disadvantaged, and special needs children through equine therapy using vaulting also known as gymnastics on a horse. Whether it’s seeing a smile from an otherwise “non-responsive” child, or watching someone taking their first steps, the hundreds of children we serve each year regularly hit major physical, mental, and emotional milestones—gifts that last a lifetime. Volunteers play a very important role at AHEAD With Horses, and they wouldn’t be as successful as they are today without them. They have more than 300 volunteers each year from all parts of Los Angeles County, many of which return to them on a regular basis. VOLUNTEERS MUST: Be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and be 12 years of age or older for general volunteer work. Please visit: https://aheadwithhorsesla.org/volunteer/
