How You Can Help

Volunteer with SAFE

If you are interested in getting involved with SAFE as a volunteer, a great way to get started is to join our Message Boards. There you can become a part of the SAFE online community, meet other volunteers and read about upcoming events and projects that you can be part of.

Since SAFE does not have a central facility housing our horses, we rely on a network of foster homes in the Pacific Northwest region. Unfortunately, this limits the amount of hands-on volunteer work that can be done with the horses themselves. We have an occasional need for experienced riders or trainers, but for the most part, we cannot accomodate volunteers who want to groom or handle horses. Hopefully in the future, SAFE will own or lease a horse facility so that we can offer open house events to bring our supporters and our horses together.

We often need help with processing adoption applications, checking references and
doing site visits/follow-up visits. We also have a few events throughout the year which need the assistance of volunteers. The 2008 SAFE Benefit Horse Show, which will be held on August 23, 2008 at Bridle Trails State Park in Bellevue WA, will need many volunteers, both on the day of the show and during the planning process. And SAFE can always use help with its fundraising efforts.

Another great way to help SAFE is to become a Foster Home for a horse. To learn more about the Foster Care program, please click here.
