As part of your training, you will receive several manuals and other related materials. You will be able to attend workshops around the state as well as NCSU horse short courses and clinics. You will work with other volunteers and extension agents to develop a regional horse organization. Finally, you will meet many people who share your interest in the horse industry and the desire to help others. Volunteer hours are flexible depending on interest and time available.
Travel expenses are tax-deductible.
You can do this by participating in a variety of ways. Every time you respond to a question from a friend, you extend the knowledge you have gained. The desire to help others is the first requirement. A personal commitment to complete required training and to provide volunteer service hours after completing training is equally important. You will be notified when to come in and fill out an application prior to the next training session which is conducted on a limited basis only once a year.
