Volunteer Orientation
Start your journey. Support the herd
Service Description
Discover what it means to support Alberta’s wild horses. Our Volunteer Orientation gives you a quick introduction to WHOAS—who we are, how we work within Alberta’s feral horse management framework, and the many ways volunteers help care for rescued horses and support public education. You’ll get a tour of the rescue facility, learn safety basics, meet the horses in care, and explore the volunteer roles available. Please note: To sign up for Volunteer Orientation, you must be a current WHOAS member.
