💖 Why Your Role Matters
🌻 You've earned this opportunity! Volunteering at Cheyne Ranch is a special honor, offered only to students in our community who've demonstrated dedication to learning, strong work ethic, safety awareness, and genuine care for our animals and community.
💰 We invest in you! Did you know Cheyne Ranch invests real money in our volunteers through insurance, training time, and resource allocation? Having volunteers isn't "free" for us - but it is absolutely worth it!
🦄 Your impact is real. With limited volunteer spots available, your reliable presence helps create life-changing experiences for our animals and fellow students. Please honor this commitment - our animals and students are counting on you!

📢 Important Notes:
😴 Get a good night's sleep - Please show up well rested and ready to work
💧 Bring water! A refillable water bottle is best
🍎 Bring a snack! Especially for shifts longer than 2 hours - we work hard outside and we get hungry!
🥾 Boots! Wear closed-toed shoes or boots
👕 Dress for mess! Wear clothes that can get wet/dirty
🌦️ We generally operate Rain or Shine! Please only drive in safe conditions, text me with any questions.
Thank you for making our programs possible! 🐴✨
