Would you like to be more involved with DVCTA?

DVCTA has a variety of volunteer opportunities available across our committees. Volunteering is a great way to use your skills, network, serve the horse community, and meet new people.

Don’t worry about the time commitment—you can volunteer as much or as little as you’d like. Whether you have 2 hours or 200, there is always a place for our members to lend a hand and earn volunteer hours. To be eligible for Year End Awards, members only need to complete 8 hours per year. You can find the perks of volunteering on our website: https://www.dvcta.org/volunteer/

If any of the opportunities below interest you, please contact the respective committee chairperson:
