We feel that it is important to give our youth members access to someone that they would not otherwise be likely to have access to! We choose a clinician(s) that have come up through the high-performance pipeline and have the ability to dialog with the kids about the pros and cons of the equestrian business, how to navigate paperwork for NAYC and the FEI, and how to balance riding life with school life. We want to make someone that these kids see in magazines or on USEF Network become attainable and real! Past Clinicians include: Jodie Kelly, Scott Peterson, Mary-Cameron Rollins Mansfield, Endel Ots, and Kassie Barteau.

Volunteer hours are eight nonconsecutive hours at a SCDCTA recognized show of the youth member's choosing. The volunteer activity can be anything from running tests to helping show management break down the arenas on Sunday afternoon to manning the bake sale table. We feel that it is important for the kids to learn to give back to the sport, and it helps them make friends and connections while appreciating show volunteers. *The Volunteer Form can be found under the Forms tab on the SCDCTA website.
