Vaulting is most often described as gymnastics on a horse. Therapeutic vaulting has all the known benefits of therapeutic riding, such as increased balance, coordination, strength, confidence, plus the added benefits of teamwork, trust, and creativity. The job of a vaulting spotter includes supervising activity, helping vaulters practice their moves, making basic positional corrections, leading strengthening drills and physically spotting the vaulter with dismounts etc. Volunteers with horse experience can be trained to lunge the horse, keeping it at a steady rhythm for vaulters, constantly reading the horse to prevent any mishaps from occurring.

Horse handlers are responsible for leading the horses for the riders during their lessons. This position is directly responsible for the safety of the rider and the horse at all times. To properly and safely lead the horse, a leader must keep their rider’s and side walker’s safety in mind by communicating with both the rider and side walker when necessary and following the instructor’s directions. You will help the student focus on the instructor’s cues, and aide the rider only when necessary by cueing the horse. Volunteers should always help to promote as much of the rider’s independence as possible. Leaders must pay attention, and always be aware of their surroundings and potential hazards (vehicles, other horses, other people, objects, etc.) and must act safely and accordingly.
Establishing positive relationships with the riders, instructors, volunteers and other staff is a requirement of this position.

In Cameroon, women are marginalised and still hold a strong domestic role in society. Many forced marriages are also organised each year and premature pregnancy remains common in families especially those living in precarious conditions.

LifeTime Projects organises and develops collective workshops on gender issues in order to raise awareness among the families of the women of the village of Atta and the local population.
This project is aimed at volunteers with basic knowledge and/or experience on gender issues and “female empowerment”. Volunteers will set up and help coordinate workshops on these subjects and the importance of keeping young girls in school.
The goal of the mission: to help these women learn about their rights, improve their knowledge on gender issues and health issues, and in this way raise awareness on the importance of maintaining their daughters in school in order to avoid forced marriages and premature pregnancies.

Required Skills:
Volunteers taking part to this project should have basic knowledge, interest and/or experience in gender issues.

Side walkers are directly responsible for both the rider’s safety, as well as assisting the rider during their lesson. This position helps the student focus on the instructor’s cues, and aides the rider only when necessary. Volunteers should always help to promote as much of the rider’s independence as possible. Side walkers may sometimes be asked to help physically hold and balance a rider using a number of different side walking “holds” (to be taught at the training). Situations may also arise where an emergency dismount is required, upon which the side walker will perform such duties with the assistance and direction of the instructor and/or other volunteers.
