If you agree that life is just better when you’re next to a horse, then you may be our next volunteer. You can help us do the physical work of grooming and caring for rescues at Miracle Ranch in Alvin, Texas, but there are also ways to help from your home.

Getting Started

Nothing is more satisfying than knowing you gave your time, talent and effort to saving equines. But volunteering isn’t for everyone! There are a few things to think about before you fill out our volunteer application. 

Age Requirements: Independent volunteers must be 18 or older. Youth volunteers, 13 and up, must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Commitment Requirements: We invest in our volunteers with training, scheduling and supervision. In return, we ask that you commit to a regular schedule for an agreed upon period of time.

Safety and Following the Rules: Volunteers are required to follow all rules safety practices at Miracle Ranch and this includes our tobacco-free policy. No tobacco products are allowed at Miracle Ranch, including chewing tobacco and vapor-based cigarettes.

Volunteer Fee: A payment of $30 per person is required as a one-time volunteer fee.

Why does Habitat for Horses charge a one-time volunteer fee? As an organization, we love investing in our volunteers and giving them a meaningful experience at Miracle Ranch. We provide each volunteer with educational resources, skills trainings, opportunities to attend clinics, and so much more. Our hope is that as volunteers spend their time helping the horses at Miracle Ranch, they also gain valuable experience that they can utilize in other areas of their lives as well. So this fee not only helps enrich the lives of the equines in our care, it also enriches the lives of our volunteers as well. If this fee hinders your ability to join our team, please reach out to us by email which is office@habitatforhorses.org.
