Physical Activities
Auberle’s residential programs are looking for qualified individuals to conduct fun exercise activities for the youth. Each volunteer would organize and implement structured recreational activities that will teach the youth about exercise and the importance of staying active. Examples might include Zumba, a run/walk club, aerobics, or teaching the youth a new sport.
Volunteers are asked to:
- Plan 8 weeks of a physical activity for either boys or girls
- Conduct one hour sessions once per week of the activity
- Provide encouragement to stay active and healthy
- Serve as a positive role model
We are looking for individuals who have some experience conducting exercise classes or coaching. Experience with youth is a must. Candidates should be articulate, flexible, and patient.
Time Commitment:
- Initial application process: 2 hours
- Training: 3 hours
- We ask that each volunteer have a structured activity planned that will span 8 weeks. The volunteers will conduct one hour sessions, once per week for 8 weeks during the youths’ evening gym time.
