Spring is in the air, and we're looking to build our staff of volunteers to learn about our program, care for horses and be a leader to kids who really need it! No horse experience? We'll teach you all you need to know, through our mentoring and training program.

Interested? Just email daretodreamvolunteer2023@gmail.com with your contact information and we'll reach out to you.

If you want to make a difference in the world, we're ready to show you how.

Volunteer Appreciation Post
Today we want to give a special shoutout to our incredible volunteers at Dare to Dream Youth Ranch for the amazing care they gave to Piper! 🐴💛

These photos capture what true dedication looks like. From patiently holding Piper steady, to carefully cleaning and checking her hooves, to making sure she feels safe and supported every step of the way, our team shows up with knowledge, compassion, and teamwork.

Hoof care isn’t always the easiest job, but it’s one of the most important parts of keeping our horses healthy and comfortable. As you can see, Piper was surrounded by calm, capable hands and gentle hearts. That kind of attentive care makes all the difference.

We are so grateful for volunteers who aren’t afraid to do the hard work, who bend down, get a little dirty, and give their time to ensure our horses thrive. Piper is lucky. We are lucky.
Thank you for loving all of the horses at Dare to Dream so well! 💕

Love is patient, love is kind...won't you be my Valentine? Tank is champing at the bit to tell all the kids who visit the ranch, "I love you!" Have a happy Valentine's Day, from all of us at Dare to Dream Youth Ranch!

We get it...Blue's really not into watching the superbowl this Sunday. He is, however, mildly entertained by humans picking up manure. Hope you have an entertaining Sunday as well!

PSA: Punxsutawney Phil, watch your back. Ace is making sure you make the RIGHT choice! All in fun, of course.
