MESA Volunteers are the heart of our program!

Our Volunteers

One of the greatest benefits of being a volunteer, is that on so many occassions, the volunteers end up getting just as much personal/emotional benefit from the program as the riders do! Teen volunteers have become an important part of our program and they serve as great role models to the younger riders. We have teens that have graduated out of the MESA program, but continue to stay involved in the progam as teen volunteers. We hope that these young volunteers will continue to develop their purpose, leadership, and life-skill development in their new roles. We also welcome and encourage our military veterans to become MESA volunteers!
