Volunteer Coordinator - Wild Horses of Alberta Society

Location: Near Sundre, Alberta (on-site + remote coordination)
Commitment: Part-time, volunteer role (flexible hours)


Wild Horses of Alberta Society is a grassroots, volunteer-powered nonprofit dedicated to the humane care, rehabilitation, and advocacy of Alberta’s wild horses. We work on the ground, in all seasons, with people who believe good stewardship is built on respect, patience, and long-term thinking.

Our volunteers are our backbone—and we’re ready for someone to help lead and support them.

The Role

The Volunteer Coordinator is the calm centre of the volunteer universe. You’ll recruit, organize, communicate with, and support a diverse group of volunteers—from horse-experienced folks to people who simply want to help where they can.

You don’t need to know anything about horses. You do need to like people, systems, and gentle chaos.
