Mark your calendar! Positive Strides will be hosting the Jaime Lee Hutchison Memorial Horse Show to showcase the wonderful work our riders have accomplished during the Spring session.

Are you looking for a meaningful volunteer opportunity? Do you know someone who wants to make a difference in our community? ​

Join our team! We rely heavily on volunteers to support programs and community outreach. This takes many different forms: from hands-on during sessions, to promoting Positive Strides at local events, to organizing and running fundraising efforts. We wouldn’t be able to operate and grow without the help and dedication of our volunteers. No prior experience needed.
