As Great Plains continues to grow, so does our need for dedicated volunteers, board members, and advisors with expertise in a variety of fields. Whether your strengths are in finance, fundraising, marketing, business development, education, construction, or something entirely different, we would love to connect with you.

If you know anyone who can donate their time this fall we will be needing a plumber, concrete/asphalt company, lumber company and more!

Don't see your particular gift or skill listed? That's okay! We believe everyone has something valuable to contribute, and we'd be honored to explore how your talents can help further our mission.

Volunteer of the Month - Zara Edwards

From the moment she joined our program, Zara has been a dedicated and valued part of our ranch family. As she graduates from high school and begins an exciting new chapter, we know she will be greatly missed.

Zara's love for the horses, the riders, and the program shines through in everything she does. She always arrives ready to work, eager to learn, and brings a quiet gentleness that our riders adore and our horses respond to so beautifully.

We are incredibly grateful for the time we've shared with her and proud of all she has accomplished. Zara, wherever life takes you next, dream big, follow your passions, and keep that special magic alive. When you're back in town, we'd love to see you!

Congratulations on your graduation, Zara. We can't wait to see all the amazing things your future holds. ❤️🐴✨
