    • Must possess a relevant fitness certificate.
    • Prior experience in leading fitness classes, especially for seniors and individuals with disabilities, is preferred.

    Volunteer Responsibilities:

    • Lead a 1-hour beginner stretch class focusing on flexibility and mobility.
    • Provide gentle exercises suitable for elderly and disabled participants.
    • Foster a supportive and inclusive environment for all attendees.

    Commitment:

    • Volunteers are needed once a month initially, with potential for increased frequency as attendance grows.
    • Classes are tentatively scheduled for the second Friday of each month, however we are flexible with the schedule.
