Each therapeutic horseback ride for a person with a disability requires a support team including our staff and at least two volunteers - a "side-walker" and a "horse-handler". The volunteers help groom and tack up the horse. They chat to the rider briefly before and after the lesson. The side-walker walks and "trots" beside the horse during the lesson, to provide support and safety to the rider. The "horse-handler" walks and "trots" with a lead rope attached to the horse's bridle. Both volunteers also help the rider with the tasks that the instructor asks the rider to do. No horse experience is necessary, as we provide all necessary training. This is a highly rewarding volunteer opportunity, involving light exercise in the outdoors (or the indoor arena). We request volunteers to select a recurring weekly timeslot, normally of two hours, for a period of one semester (from 8 - 15 weeks). Lessons are offered between 9 am and 8 pm weekdays and 9 am to early afternoon weekends. Our highest need is for weekday volunteers.

Arkansas Asset Builders is a Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program partner, providing free, volunteer-prepared tax preparation to individuals and families with annual incomes up to $60,000. Tax refunds that include the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Child Tax Credit (CTC) are an important resource for hard-working families, helping them to get ahead financially, pay down debt and work toward saving for the future.

At VITA sites, IRS-trained and certified volunteers prepare and electronically file state and federal income tax forms at no charge and determine a taxpayer’s qualifications for tax credits and refunds. We help our clients avoid predatory fees and financial products offered by the for-profit tax preparation industry that target low-income households with the largest tax refunds.

Since 2017, Arkansas Asset Builders’ volunteers have prepared over 2,480 tax returns, saving our clients $590,000 in avoided tax preparation fees and returning more than $2.3 million in federal tax refunds to our community. Sign up to be a VITA volunteer and put more tax refund money in the pockets of hard-working Arkansans!

IF YOU HAVE THESE SKILLS…
- Experience using computers;
- Time to commit at least three hours per week from late-January until mid-April; and,
- Strong interpersonal and verbal communication skills, in English or Spanish.
WE’LL PROVIDE ALL THE TRAINING YOU NEED TO SERVE WITH US!
