CORRAL Riding Academy is a faith-motivated nonprofit that serves adolescent girls in high-risk situations through a long-term, holistic program of equine therapy and education. CORRAL equips each girl and her community with the skills, resources, and opportunities to gain access to a bright future.
At the event, you'll do hands-on projects to support the Neuse River campus and have the opportunity to learn more about CORRAL's mission and programs!
Address: 3120 Tarheel Clubhouse Rd., Raleigh, NC 27604
Important Note: We've found that new construction projects in the area are impacting some navigation apps when folks make their way to the farm. Be sure your route takes you to Old Milburnie Road. As a backup, you can enter Beaverdam Elementary School (on Tarheel Club Ln.) into your app. Once you pass the school, you'll come to a three-way intersection - turn onto Tarheel Clubhouse Ln. When you see Hidden Cove community entrance, turn right - you'll find CORRAL at the end of the road.
What to wear/bring: Please come dressed in closed-toe farm shoes/boots. We also encourage you to bring work gloves and a water bottle. Our work will be outdoors, so layers, long pants, and clothes you don't mind getting dirty are always a good choice.
Youth volunteering: We love having kids and families out on the farm! Youth ages 13 and under must be directly supervised by a caregiver or chaperone at all times. Youth older than 13 may volunteer more indepentently with a caregiver or chaperone on the property. Caregivers should register on behalf of their youth participants. Adult chaperones - don't forget to register as well! We are happy to sign off on community service sheets during or after the event.
Group volunteering: We love when folks bring their crew to CORRAL! If you're planning to volunteer as a group (5+ people with a shared organizational affiliation) please reach out to volunteer@corralriding.org so we can hook you up with your own registration link. If you're interested in scheduling a corporate / organization volunteer day outside of the monthly Saturday events we offer, let us know - we'd love to help!
