Being a Volunteer is Easy!

RDA Singapore always welcomes volunteers for our therapy sessions!

No experience is necessary, as you will be provided with training and hands-on experience. We offer on-the-job training, as well as dedicated training sessions every quarter.
Our therapy sessions run Mondays to Saturdays, with morning and afternoon sessions available.

We do ask for a 10-week commitment (the duration of one therapy term) as you will be paired with the same beneficiary. This helps build a relationship between our riders and volunteers, and provides consistency and familiarity for both beneficiaries and volunteers.

SIDE-WALKER
All volunteers for our therapy sessions start off as a side-walker. As a side-walker, you will be an integral part of the weekly progress of the riders, providing physical assistance and emotional encouragement.
During the sessions, you will walk alongside the horse while supporting and interacting with your rider, and facilitating activities.
It is truly rewarding to see how your rider improves from week to week, growing in confidence and ability!

HORSE LEADER
As a leader, you will be responsible for getting our horses ready for, and leading them throughout the session.
No horse experience is required; however, we do request you to have completed a term as a side-walker before signing on for horse leader training.
This ensures you are familiar with how the sessions are run, and helps you understand the very important role our equine partners take on as a therapy horse!

You can also volunteer to assist us with fund-raising, for our various events throughout the year. Contact us to find out more!
