CARY, NC — CORRAL Riding Academy is inviting community members to roll up their sleeves and support local at-risk youth through monthly volunteer service days at their Kildaire farm location.

The nonprofit organization, which provides equine therapy and educational programs for adolescent girls in high-risk situations, will host Service Saturdays throughout the 2025-26 program year. These volunteer opportunities take place on the first Saturday of each month from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the organization’s facility at 3620 Kildaire Farm Road, Cary, NC.

“CORRAL provides adolescent girls in high-risk situations a holistic program of equine therapy and education so they may gain access to a bright future,” the organization states in describing its core mission.

The monthly service events offer community members a chance to contribute directly to the nonprofit’s operations through hands-on farm projects. Volunteers are encouraged to come prepared for outdoor work, wearing closed-toe farm shoes or boots and bringing work gloves and water bottles. The organization recommends long pants, sun protection, and clothing suitable for getting dirty.

CORRAL welcomes volunteers of all ages, though participants under 18 must be accompanied by a caregiver and cannot be dropped off unattended. The organization is prepared to provide community service documentation for youth volunteers who need it for school or other requirements.

Groups interested in volunteering together are encouraged to contact the organization in advance. Teams of five or more people with shared organizational ties can receive specialized registration links by reaching out to [email protected]. CORRAL also offers customized corporate and organizational volunteer days outside the regular monthly schedule.

For individuals seeking more extensive volunteer involvement, CORRAL offers a free Volunteer 101 course that provides detailed information about the organization’s mission, programs, and various volunteer roles available at both of their farm locations.

The Service Saturday initiative represents an accessible entry point for community members looking to support local youth services while engaging in meaningful outdoor volunteer work.
