Volunteer Opportunities

As a "volunteer" based organization, the BREA relies heavily on the generous giving of time by its members in everything it does.  Throughout the year, multiple opportunities to help the club offer its activities exist.  Among others, these activities include:

• Serving as a BREA Board member

• Helping to organize and run BREA competitions before, during, and after the day of the event

• Participating in workdays at the Green Hill Park Equestrian Center

• Organizing team activities

• Organizing clinics

• Maintaining the Year End Awards Program

• Maintaining the Volunteer Hours Program

• Organizing the BREA Annual Meeting

• Organizing and maintaining BREA equipment

• Participating in fund raising activities

If you would like to help with any of these activities or initiate an activity on behalf of the BREA, please contact any BREA Board member as soon as possible.  In addition, some BREA programs such as the Year End Awards and Teams require certain numbers of volunteer hours in order to participate in that activity.  If you are planning on becoming involved with these activities, be sure to complete your required volunteer hours as soon as possible.  You don't want to miss out on a year end award or a team competition due to lack of volunteer hours.
