Check out their website (http://www.nctrcriders.org) for more information, but here’s a little blurb:
NCTRC exists to empower children and adults with physical, emotional, mental and social
challenges to create active, healthier, and more fulfilling lives through equine-assisted
activities and therapies (EAAT).
For those who are interested in assisting with riding classes, we offer volunteer
orientations before the start of each of 6-10 week session. Lesson volunteers work
directly with our riders and horses in class. Responsibilities include:
* helping in the arena as horse leaders and sidewalkers
* providing horse care, and
* doing barn chores.

If you’ll be in the area this summer and are looking for something to do that’s a very small time commitment, consider volunteering at Abilitations. Abilitations is a Children’s Therapy and Wellness Center in Raleigh, and they do some really cool things with kids. Check out their website: http://www.actwc.com/index.html.
They are looking for volunteers to help out with their summer musical. The dates are June 11-July 16th on Fridays only from 12:30-1:30. If you’re interested, email T.R. Goins- her email is on the website.
Come talk to DPT students about their experiences and ask questions to figure out what you need to prepare yourself for PT school. We’re lucky to have students and recent grads representing four different DPT programs:
Brent Henderly (william.henderly@duke.edu)- Elon ’06, Elon DPT ‘09
Bonnijane Monson (hnanegra@hotmail.com)- Brigham Young ’06, Utah DPT ‘10
