The Clayton County 4-H Horse Club is currently on the lookout for volunteers to help shape the minds and skills of young equestrians. If you're over 18 and have a passion for both education and equines, this might be your chance to make a difference. The club is centered around mentoring youngsters in horsemanship, and volunteers are tasked with assisting in equine care and facilitating educational workshops.
It's not just about the horses, though, the club also hosts a Horse Quiz Bowl come January. Volunteers with a penchant for quizzing can serve as moderators, judges, or timekeepers, during this knowledge-based competition. To be eligible, there are some requisites – including three non-related references, a signed volunteer agreement, and consenting to a background check as mentioned in the announcement. Furthermore, aspiring volunteers must complete an online training titled "Georgia 4-H Working with Youth & Managing Risk."
For those who commit, the club meets monthly and offers optional riding sessions twice a month. This is more than just horseplay; it's an opportunity to be part of a community that shares a love for horses and education. According to a statement obtained by Clayton County, for those interested in making a contribution to the nurturing atmosphere of the Horse Club, you can gather more information by visiting the 4-H volunteer page on the official Clayton County website or by reaching out directly to [email protected].
If you find yourself equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills, and feel the call to support the next generation of equine enthusiasts, mark your calendars and prepare your emails. Clayton County's youth, and their equine companions, await the mentorship and dedication of volunteers like you. #Claytonconnected
