We are looking for a very special volunteer to assist with the presentation of gym lessons and activities to primary and middle school students with special needs.
Materials and lessons provided, you bring the pizzazz! Volunteer must be high energy and animated during the presentation of lessons to capture the attention of children and to build excitement for the activity. We want to create an atmosphere of movement, fun, and learning. Volunteer also must have the ability to switch gears when appropriate to show calm and patience while encouraging students in their efforts. Looking for a volunteer who is a natural at building people up!
Clear communication and flexibility is essential. Volunteer will need to clearly explain games and activities, and help the students to participate in a way that works with each individual’s physical abilities. Volunteer will provide large group and one-on-one instruction.
Volunteers are needed weekly in any of the following shifts: Mondays 9:15am-11:45am or 12:15pm - 2:00pm; Thursdays 9:15am-11:45am or 1:00pm-2pm.
This is a great opportunity for anyone with a physical education background or a college student going into special ed or OT or PT (not a requirement.)
No need to be an athlete but you should consider yourself active and fun-loving.
