B180 Volunteer Opportunity

Hello,

 I am the Volunteer Coordinator for Balance 180 Gymnastics & Sports Academy. We are a local non-profit organization that focuses on integrating children with varying abilities through sports. This summer we are running our third annual summer camp, and need volunteers that are excited to work with children with special needs!

 Summer camp is a great learning experience for student volunteers and we would love to have pre-health students join us this year! All of our volunteers work 1-1 or 2-1 with the participating campers, in a wide range of activities including gymnastics time, crafts, and games. The athletes have a range of disabilities including Autism, Down Syndrome, ADD/ADHD, and Cerebral Palsy among others.

 Camp will be offered from July 11^th to July 29th and will be held Monday – Friday from 8 AM – 12:30 PM. Volunteers do not need to commit to all dates, however, we do ask that volunteers sign up in advance for the days they are available.

 We are so excited to be offering an inclusive camp again this summer for children in the Gainesville community, and we hope that some of your students may be able to share in this wonderful experience! We would appreciate your help with spreading the word on this opportunity. Students who are interested in volunteering can email us at balance180summercamp@gmail.com.

 Thank you,

 Tori for the Balance 180 Team

ADEA GoDental Newsletter | May 2016 | Excited about ADEA GoDental? Tweet about it!   ADEA GoDental Newsletter | Support and Growth The Importance of Internships and Shadowing My relationship with dentistry wasn’t exactly “written in the stars.” Neither of my parents are in the profession, and with the exception of my regular dentist, I had never spoken with someone in the profession. What I did know from a young age was that I had a passion for helping people. It was this passion which motivated me to pursue different service opportunities that would ultimately lead to my introduction to the dental profession. I credit my early experiences through a series of internships and shadowing as the spark for my commitment to and love for dentistry.
