Volunteer Drivers Needed.

Warrior Now / Operation Equine   {WarriorNOW – Supporting Veterans/ Operation Equine - empowering the Military, Veteran, and Emergency Responder community through Equine Therapies. 

Operation Equine and WarriorNow are 501 c3 Nonprofit organizations that provide a variety of services and resources to Military Veterans, Emergency Responders, and their families, including mental health counseling. Through a collaboration with Colorado Equine Specialists (CES) in Parker, they are offering an Equine-assisted Learning program to Veterans Treatment Court participants on the 4th Friday of every month (*) and they need our support in transporting Veterans from the Park&Ride Metro station on Lincoln and I-25 to the CES property in Parker. They need volunteer drivers once a month on the fourth (4th) Friday of the month from approx. 12:00 to 16:00 (the official activity runs from 1300 - 1500 pm). 

Operation Equine @ Colorado Equine Specialists in Parker is located at 2190 Helen Court, Parker CO 80138 (this is actually just off of Singing Hill  / CO-166). This is a small farm / family home.

Driver(s) will receive a list of veteran participants (*) the day before via email or text.  Drivers will meet participants at the Metro-station on Lincoln and I-25 (10203 Station Way, Lone Tree, CO 80124) to pick up passengers and deliver them to the Operation Equine @ Colorado Equine Specialists  location for their Equine assisted learning session. The session will last approx. 2 hours in which time the driver is welcome to participate, hang around in the lounge inside, or leave while the session is taking place. Once the counseling session is over driver will pick up passengers and return them to the Lincoln Metro station.  

Operation Equine/WarriorNow will provide the vehicle (bus/van) so driver(s) does not need to use his/her personal vehicle.  The start date will be Friday 22 January 2021, and continue every fourth Friday throughout 2021. 

If you are interested please text or call  Michelle Kaye at (303) 506-9920 or Tom Chavez (303)653-6241. Please leave a message if we do not answer right away. We will return your call/text as soon as possible.

Thank you for your consideration! 

• Please note: this program does not yet have a van of its      own, and they are looking for assistance with resources to have one      donated to WarriorNow for their programs.  We will not need drivers      until we officially have a van in our employ. If you have ideas of a car      dealership, company, organization, and/or individual who may be interested      in assisting us in procuring a van or mini-bus, please contact Michelle      Kaye of Operation Equine (303) 506.9920. 
• (*) Every other month, family members of the veteran Mentors and/or      Mentees are invited to participate in the equine session. Children will be      between 7 - 17 years old.
