Last Stop Horse Rescue
"Sisters saving horses with the help of many"
The rescue is located in Prentiss, Maine, which is a long way to travel from KVCC. However, we always welcome volunteers. We have a few projects coming up this summer, and one is enclosing a second field for the horses at the rescue.
We have a post hole digger for the tractor, and we are working on getting the posts and electric rope lined up for the project. The most important project for us this summer will begin in July when we begin harvesting a 20 acre hay field that was donated by one of our supporters for us to provide hay for the horses at the rescue.
Last summer was our first attempt, and we did complete the haying. However, we found that we really need help with this project for us to be able to continue to do this each year.

A number of volunteer opportunities are available, and vary by studio location.
Basic or advanced computer skills are helpful, however, we can train you to use our fairly simple systems.
Directing: Directors monitor volunteer readers for accuracy and ensure high quality recordings. It includes following along with readers while the material is being recorded and stopping them when mistakes are made. All volunteers are trained to direct and to read.
Editing: Editors review the work of our Readers and Directors to ensure that our listeners receive high quality materials.
Reading: You must enjoy reading and feel comfortable reading aloud. Readers are assigned directors who follow along while the material is being recorded to ensure absolute accuracy. All volunteers are trained to direct and to read. It generally takes several months to become a full-time reader.
Specialty Reading: We especially have a need for readers with either a degree and professional experience or enough aggregate life experience to read upper-level text books in mathematics, science, medicine and law.
