Volunteers can sign up to help by following one of the tracks below. Every volunteer must pick a track to start on that best fits their interest and skill set. This can always be changed later on! Both tracks are equally important to continuing Rearing2Read’s mission.

Below is a list of examples of what duties may be included with each track:

Track One: Hands-On Volunteers

• Assisting with the after-school program as a tutor or horse handler

• Running a station or table at an Open House or Workshop

• Working as a camp counselor during summer camps

Track 2: Behind the Scenes

• Organize the Bunny House and/or program supplies

• Photograph events

• Assist with fundraisers and donor recognition

How to become a Rearing2Read Volunteer

1. Email president@rearing2read.us, sharing your interest and which track you are interested in.

2. If you plan to follow Track 1, you will be sent a background check invitation from Backgroundchecks.com. Rearing2Read must receive a Volunteer's background check before they work with minors. 

3. After the background check is approved, Volunteers will be added to the shared calendar. Volunteers can sign up for volunteer opportunities there! 

Please note: Volunteers are responsible for paying for their check ($36.47).  

Volunteers who give 15 or more hours a year of volunteer work to Rearing2Read will become part of our Valued Volunteers Program. Valued Volunteers will receive:

• Online recognition and bio on Rearing2Read’s website

• Mentions in Rearing2Read’s quarterly newsletter

• Annual donor recognition, report, and gift!
