VOLUNTEER
NCDCTA is a member-focused and member-run organization that depends on volunteers! We encourage you to become involved in any of the many activities we offer.
Share the excitement from the inside:
-
Meet international judges, competitors, and learn how the competitions work.
-
Scribing at a show is a great educational experience to help you improve as a rider!
-
Help a Junior rider put a winning sash on her horse for the victory gallop!
-
Participate as a ring steward in order to better understand our sport.
Promote other Volunteer activities....
Examples include, but are not limited to, writing an article about concepts or knowledge learned at the program, organizing a fundraising event for the scholarship account, etc. Creativity is encouraged.
Professionals please note that contributing your time to provide a clinic or instruction at a fix-a-test for NCDCTA members, utilizing knowledge and skills gleaned during your educational program, is a unique way in which you can fulfill this commitment.
