Mission Statement	The Equine Research Foundation is a nonprofit organization that investigates horse cognition, perception and behavior. Results are used to improve handling and training of horses and raise awareness about equine management.
Volunteer Duties	Year-round volunteer positions are available, mostly for local college students, but "students" of horses from the community are also welcome. Volunteers should be able to commit to regular schedules for a minimum of three months, approximately eight hours per week for volunteering and 16 hours per week for internships. School credits are available. Summer internships area also available by joining the Foundation's team for one month and participating in equine research while learning about training and handling in a relaxed and friendly vacation-like atmosphere. Summer internships begin the first of the month or by special arrangement. School credit may also be arranged.
