News from The Stables

According to the Do Good Institute at the University of Maryland, a report was shared on April 23, 2024, that the estimate for the value of a volunteer hour was $33.49 in 2023, a 5.3% increase from 2022. Volunteers make a huge difference in our society at large, to our economic engines and to our neighborhood. In the non profit world, development directors (known as the fundraisers) will tell you there are three assets nonprofits need from people: Time, Talent or Treasure. At an estimated $33.49 per hour, imagine the impact you can have if you just volunteer a few hours each week!

If you determine that you have extra time on your hands and want to contribute your time to make a difference in our neighborhood, consider helping at the Bent Tree Stables. While the stables has a very proficient and efficient handyman, sometimes, depending on mother nature and increased barn use, even the amazing handyman can use an extra handy hand.

If you have the following skills and inclination, call the barn to see how you can help.

A volunteer Barn Handyman (handy person) at the stable/barn will help the Staff Handyman with maintenance within the barn and on the grounds maintaining and environment of safety for both people and the horses. As a handyman your primary responsibilities include helping the staff Handyman with routine repair about the barn.  The volunteer will respond to tasks assigned by the Barn manager and Staff Handyman as well as identifying items in need of maintenance. The volunteer will keep the Barn Manager and Staff Handyman informed on supplies needed for items that should be repaired or replaced. Work hours vary and will be coordinated with the Barn Manager and Staff Handyman. This is a generalist position, often filled by hobbyists, individuals looking to find a career with horses and retirees.

• Responsibilities and Duties May Include:
• Carry out minor carpentry work.
• Carry out minor building maintenance work including painting, clearing drains, etc. as instructed by Barn Manager/Staff Handyman
• Empty external waste bins and remove litter.
