We use a holistic approach including Equine Assisted Psychotherapy, tutoring, mentoring, and vocational training.

Who are you?

We are looking for highly accountable, passionate, recently-graduated students from a B.S. or B.A. degree program related to the position. The non-profit life can get hectic at times, so we need detail-oriented self-starters that aren’t afraid to ask questions and think in innovative ways. As a CORRAL staff member, you have strong verbal and written communication skills, including public speaking and interpersonal communications. You are willing to resolve conflict and make big decisions. Although we do serious work at the farm, we don’t always take ourselves so seriously. You’ll thrive in our fun, collaborative space that’s filled with supportive people (plus their dogs). While our staff loves to work together and so do you,  you also possess the ability to work independently with self-direction. Prior horse knowledge is not required to excel at this job but a willingness to learn is!

Job Description

Your time with us will be filled with opportunities to produce meaningful and impactful work. Staff members are exposed to a variety of aspects of running a non-profit and are given organizational ownership over their projects. We value growth as a team and as individuals, so interns will work closely with their managers throughout their time at CORRAL. You will also have bi-weekly performance feedback check-ins with your manager to learn and grow as a leader. This position will require approximately 10–15 hours a week, with flexibility within the Monday–Saturday office schedule. You will work remotely but will also have the opportunity to visit our beautiful farms! Compensation will be $15-20 per hour, based on experience.

To apply for a job with CORRAL, email your resume along with a short personal introduction to jobs@corralriding.org. Please include the position you are applying for in the email subject.

What Our Interns Have to Say

“My time at CORRAL instilled a passion within me to help children in at risk situations. Through building relationships with the girls, I have been more confident than ever to continue pursuing my degree in psychology. CORRAL provided a safe place to learn and grow, and took me COMPLETELY outside of my comfort zone. I’m extremely thankful for the staff who poured into my life, and the girls that have forever impacted me.” -Autumn, Programming Intern

“My favorite part of CORRAL was the enthusiasm each employee had for the mission of CORRAL. It is always fun to learn from people who are genuinely excited about what they do. The great work that these individuals do is often complicated and, on occasion, quite frustrating. However, each day was a new day and they showed up to work with fresh ideas and a smile. It was really inspiring.” –Jennifer, Business Intern

“I have learned so, so much from being an intern at CORRAL. It has grown me as a person and taught me so much! I think my favorite part about working at CORRAL has been having a part in seeing the girl’s grow and succeed throughout the programming year. It has been so cool to build relationships with the girls and get to see them choose change for their lives…This program is truly changing their lives and it has been a privilege to be a small part of that change.” -Rachel, Programming Intern
