Please e-mail Jana at koppertop@elon.edu.  Tickets cost $1 each or 6 for $5.  Proceeds benefit Kopper Top Life Learning Center, a therapeutic horseback riding non-profit. 

Drawing will be December 7. 

Kopper Top Life Learning Center might be the place for you!  It’s a therapeutic horseback riding center, located in Liberty, N.C., that focuses on helping individuals with disabilities progress and grow towards independence. 

There’s a variety of ways you can help!  All are welcome (students, grad students, faculty, staff, etc.)  Please attend an interest meeting on Sunday, February 13, at 7:30 p.m. in the Kernodle Center (Moseley 230) to find out more. 

Contact Jana Murdock at koppertop@elon.edu with questions.

We need dog food, cat food, guinea pig food, dog treats (milk bones), horse treats (carrots, apples, etc – no sugar please), and fresh and dried fruit for the bunnies and guinea pigs.

Our favorite kinds of food are more natural (fewer preservatives, additives, etc), but we would love anything you are able to donate. Please let me know if you’re able to donate anything by contacting me at koppertop@elon.edu. This week, I’ll probably ask that you bring your item(s) to the Kernodle Center where I will pick them up and take them out to the farm. I’m working on setting up drop off locations around campus as well.

This will help to fill a pressing need at Kopper Top. If you’re interested in volunteering at Kopper Top, please shoot me an e-mail.  This is a beautiful time of year to get involved!

This position requires dedication, creativity and organization. Typically, it requires 8-10 hours per week, although that fluctuates through the busy and slow times.  Starting pay is $8.25/hour. Please e-mail kernodle@elon.edu to find out more and request an electronic application, or stop by the Kernodle Center (Moseley 230) to pick up an application.  They will be due March 10.

Thanks!

Are you looking for an opportunity to get off-campus and play?

Would you like to help children with disabilities? 

Kopper Top Life Learning Center is a place where you can do all of this!  It’s a non-profit therapeutic horseback riding facility primarily, but there are many ways that you can help.

For example, you can help with lessons, working directly with children who have disabilities and the horses they ride.

Or, you can volunteer with pet-therapy, a program that takes the small animals (dogs, cats, and bunnies) to assisted-living facilities.

Or, you can be part of a fundraising/advertising/general PR kind of team.  This is something we’re in desparate need of!

Or, you could even work on finding and writing grants (great experience for English and Human Services majors!).

If anything you read sounds even vaguely interesting, please contact Jana Murdock at koppertop@elon.edu for more information!

Please note that you must receive Federal Work Study as part of your financial aid package to apply for this position.

Interest meetings will be held on Monday, September 14 and Tuesday, September 15 at 7:30 (location to be announced).

You may also send an e-mail to kernodle@elon.edu for more information about all of the tutoring positions we offer.

We hope to hear from you soon!
