Pioneer Valley Therapeutic Riding Association, Belchertown, MA

Primary job responsibilities:
-updating PVTRA's volunteer handbook
-redesigning the volunteer handbook
-learn about managing volunteers for a non-profit organization
-work with new rescue horse in training
Over the course of the placement the primary job requirements did not change.

I would rate this job placement as Excellent. I would strongly recommend other students this site. PVTRA is the only NARHA premier accredited center in western Massachusetts.

My advice to other students is to make sure you are dedicated to your interest in working with the disabled. Be prepared to learn and follow strict guidelines for safety. Have patience and understanding
