Volunteering at SEA
We have lots of volunteer opportunities! And you do not necessarily have to have experience with livestock - there are lots of other ways you can help! Running the gates, setting up event patterns, taking times, assisting with general labor, etc.
And unless you plan to ride at the arena, you do not have to be a member to volunteer. If you would like to become a member, visit our MEMBERSHIP page to sign up!
Email us, or reach out to a board member if you are interested in volunteering!

Become an "Open Arena Volunteer"
Once I'm a member, can I have a key to ride at the arena anytime?
The short answer is, no. Only board members and "Open Arena Volunteers" have keys to open the arena.
As an Open Arena Volunteer, you will pick a day and time each week where you commit to opening the arena. You will be able to come and ride, but other members can come and ride as well, and you're responsible for making sure everyone follows the rules.
