Volunteer Opportunity: Exercise, Movement & Wellness

Center for Belonging & Well Being (CBW) a division of Alpert Jewish Family Service

Make a Difference Through Movement, Laughter & Connection!

The Center for Belonging & Well Being (CBW) is looking for a kind, enthusiastic, and dependable volunteer to bring movement, exercise, and fun into the lives of the adults who participate in our day program.

Our participants are wonderful individuals with unique personalities, interests, strengths, and abilities. While they benefit from supportive living environments and may need assistance with certain aspects of daily life, many enjoy a high degree of independence and actively participate in making their own choices. Each person's circumstances are different, and we celebrate what makes every individual unique.

We are looking for someone who enjoys connecting with people and can create a positive, welcoming atmosphere where everyone feels included, encouraged, and comfortable participating at their own pace.

What Would You Do?

Lead or assist with enjoyable, accessible exercise and movement activities that can be adapted to different abilities, interests, and comfort levels.

Activities might include:

• Zumba or modified Zumba
• Light exercise and fitness
• Stretching and flexibility
• Dance and creative movement
• Chair exercises
• Fun group fitness games
• Walking and other gentle movement activities
• Your own creative ideas to encourage movement and wellness!

You don't need to be a professional fitness instructor! We welcome individuals who have a passion for movement, enjoy working with others, and can make physical activity fun, safe, and inclusive.

Schedule

Tuesdays and Thursdays | 9:30–10:30 a.m.

We welcome volunteers who can commit to one or both days on a consistent basis. Building familiar relationships helps our participants feel comfortable, develop trust, and look forward to spending time together.

Who Would Be a Great Fit?

Someone who is:

• Friendly, patient, compassionate, and encouraging
• Comfortable interacting with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
• Creative and willing to adapt activities to individual abilities
• Dependable and interested in developing meaningful relationships
• Enthusiastic about physical activity, wellness, and helping others
• Able to create a respectful, positive, and inclusive environment

More Than Just Exercise!

This opportunity is about so much more than physical fitness. It's about sharing smiles, building confidence, encouraging independence, creating friendships, and helping each participant experience the joy of movement.

Sometimes the greatest difference you can make in someone's day is simply showing up, sharing your energy, and making them feel valued.

We would love to welcome you to our volunteer team! All faiths welcome.
