Volunteers

Lauren

I have been volunteering at RDA Tall Timbers every Saturday for nearly two years and volunteering here has become one of my favourite activities. I love seeing clients grow during their time at RDA. I love learning and gaining new skills every time I’m there. RDA is a place that I easily felt included and that I belonged. This year I received the “ Young Volunteer Of The Year “ award which I am honoured to be awarded. I love helping and contributing to this amazing community. This year has been quite the year with RDA. When I first started volunteering there weren’t many volunteers my age, now there are lots of volunteers my age. I am so honoured to be a part of this amazing community full of amazing people.

Our Community

Great place for young people with disabilities to learn how to ride and gain fine and gross motor skills

Great facility, great people doing amazing work with those of us who are less fortunate

Very professionally run program....lovely people....and the horses are beautiful!

This program has benefited her so much. Even years ago, when she barely left the house, and we had to start homeschooling, this was a constant for her. Even then we had days where we had to cancel due to her anxiety. Now to see her go without anxiety, communicate with the volunteers on her own (I've actively tried to step back) and even cope with trotting (previously a lot of movement would cause panic). It is nothing short of amazing.

Great work done by great people

Excellent initiative

Fantastic people and facilities.

Being a parent of a special needs child can bring many challenges and at times can be isolating. Tall Timbers give endless benefits to the participants and their families.
