Volunteer Opportunities From: Volunteer Center of Sheboygan County

REINS is seeking a bookkeeper to keep our organization running smoothly. Our Financial Officer has handled these responsibilities, along with his board duties, for the past several years. He is retiring, and we will be separating the responsibilities. He is willing to assist with turnover and training. 

Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to talking with you about joining our team and the Magic of REINS.

Our current Financial Officer spends approximately 20 hours each month on these duties. A list of duties performed is listed below.

Bookkeeping duties
 Financial statements – classify all bank activity and prepare financial statements
for the Financial Officer for monthly BOD meetings

 Payroll – biweekly payroll checks, tax deposits and filings, W2s, etc.,  currently
performed in QuickBooks. Minimal time needed to add/subtract employees,
maintain pay rates and reimbursements, and enter hours for hourly employees
biweekly; overall responsibility for tax payments, employee W-2’s, etc.

 Bill pay – approx. 10-20 regular vendors to be paid and various one-offs.
Virtually all are paid via automated bill pay at Summit Credit Union, direct ACH, or
autopay on a credit card. It could likely be done once per month, although some
situations still require immediate payment
 Billing for services – We bill families directly via QuickBooks, as well as bill for
reimbursement from Sheboygan County and others (Dept of Human Services)
and IRIS. A somewhat complicated billing process is to be done four times per year.
 Deposits – Tracking, reconciling, recording, and ensuring donors receive
personal thank you notes and tax acknowledgement is a fairly time-consuming process.

REINS is looking to file an upcoming vacancy on our Board of Directors for a Financial Officer. This is a key position for our organization. After many years of service, our current Financial Officer is resigning to spend more time with grandchildren. He is willing to assist with turnover and training. 

Thank you for considering this opportunity. I look forward to talking with you about joining our team and the Magic of REINS. 

Our current Financial Officer spends approximately 10 hours each month on these duties. Bookkeeping is not part of this position. A list of duties performed by our current Financial Officer are listed below.

Many of our participants are unable to take part in this unique therapy without the proper support of our trained volunteers. Sidewalkers do not need horse experience and will benefit from a great walk (fitness) and a heart warming experience. Sidewalkers are an integral part to our riders care team and develop relationships that last from season to season allowing our riders to experience consistency helping them reach their seasons goals.

Class time can involve 1-5 participants. Our instructors are extremely attentive to all our participants needs. During each class a number of activities are planned. Each class is designed to bring our participants closer to the goals they have set for themselves. To assist in the smooth running of each session, our equipment assistant works with the instructor demonstrating exercises to be performed, patterns to be followed and provide general encouragement to all of our participants. Horse experience is not necessary.

This is a great way for volunteers to be introduced to all the magic that happens throughout our season!

Individuals are required to have horse experience and have the ability to develop a level of trust with their equine partner throughout the class. Being part of a participants care team means you experience first-hand their improvements as well as their contagious smiles.

Leading our four-legged therapists is not only rewarding but great exercise too!

The equine therapists utilized by the REINS program are loaned to us through the generosity of horse owners. Our grooms ensure all horses are not only clean but saddled and handled correctly. Responsibilities also include maintaining clean stalls, keeping water supply clean and available and possible turn out at the end of the days classes. Prior horse experience is preferred. 

This is a great way to get your horse fix!

Be the welcoming face to our participants, families, and volunteers at REINS this summer! We are looking for someone to greet people as they enter the building, assist in signing in, and help with other office related activities. 

Become an Unmounted Horse Leader! Help students in the area learn about horses and grow their confidence through the use of horses. Unmounted horse leaders help by being there for the horse and participant, to lead and follow the direction of the instructor. Unmounted Horse Leaders are there to walk in the arena along with the horses and participants, standing with the horses and follow the directions of the instructor. Classes are fun for both the participant and the Leader. Come and learn with our participants and join today!
