YMCA Action Stars Modified Fitness

Action Stars is an adaptive fitness program for individuals 8 years and older with special needs and/or physical disabilities. This modified program is all about promoting physical activity, building confidence, and most importantly --- having FUN in a supportive and encouraging environment.

Obtain 3 volunteer hours!

Volunteer role to promote participation and engagement:

• Leading or assisting at activity stations
• Providing verbal encouragement
• ex: Good job, Awesome, high five, fist bump
• Physical prompting
• Lightly moving participants' arms or legs to correct exercise position
• Creating a positive, inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels safe, supported, and celebrated
• Helping with the set-up and clean-up of equipment and materials

No prior experience is necessary - just bring your energy, patience, and willingness to make a difference! Training and guidance will be provided on-site.

What to bring:

• A reusable water bottle - refill stations are throughout the family center
• Athletic clothing for ease of movement
• Sneakers or closed-toe athletic shoes for safety and comfort
