SUNSHINE Coast Riding for the Disabled (SCRDA) is seeking dependable and compassionate people who have a love of horses and would like to give back to their community in a meaningful way in 2025.
SCRDA which is located at North Arm is a not-for-profit organisation providing supported equine-based therapeutic riding, driving and on-ground programs for all members of the disability community on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Their facilities and equipment are designed to address the needs of the disability community, and their programs are structured to engage participants in progressive activities that develop a range of physical, psychological and social outcomes over a period of time.
The organisation has a need for more volunteers in order to continue their work and they have vacancies for new volunteers and will be offering an ‘Orientation and Induction’ on Monday, February 3 from 9 am until 12 noon with morning tea to be provided.
“If you have a few hours to spare each week, we would love to have you come along and join our team,” a spokesperson stated.
“In return, you will be rewarded with millions of smiles, and you don’t need to have horse experience, although it is an advantage, as we provide training, and don’t worry if horses aren’t your forte, we have plenty of other jobs around the centre that may suit you.”
Please come along on the day with closed in footwear, sun smart clothing and a big smile. No need to book – just arrive at 9am on the Monday and you’ll be warmly welcomed.
Practical training will be offered in the days following and if you can attend some of those days, the better you will understand the programs and the centre.
The centre is located at Monak Rd, North Arm – on the left-hand side at the end of the road.
