Volunteer Nation: Three Opportunities to Help This Weekend

A lifelong horse lover, Aimée Arnold didn't get involved with horses until her 40s. Now, in addition to riding, she volunteers her time for events in Area X.

Posted by United States Eventing Association, Inc. (USEA) on Tuesday, February 2, 2021

The USEA this month is recognizing Aimée Arnold as the Volunteer of the Month. Aimée does most of her volunteering in sunny Arizona and has been instrumental in maintaining the Southern Arizona Eventing Association’s website, among other duties. ““Since we are a totally volunteer community, every little bit helps,” she told the USEA. “It’s really quite amazing when you consider what we have and are able to accomplish as a group of volunteers.” Thank you for all you do, Aimée!

We’ve compiled some resources on volunteering with COVID-19 regulations in mind. We’ll reference this list each week in Volunteer Nation, so take a few moments to familiarize yourself with what’s new and different.

As always, you can earn merit points when you donate your time through the USEA’s Volunteer Incentive Program. Registering to volunteer through EventingVolunteers.com makes it easy and seamless to both find a job and shift as well as learn what your role will entail.
