Good morning Pre Health Gators,
Please see below for a volunteer opportunity with Balance
180:
Are you interested in working with children and having a fun
summer experience? Balance 180 Gymnastics & Sports Academy, a local
non-profit organization committed to integrating children with disabilities, is
looking for college-aged volunteers that are excited to work with children with
special needs!
This summer, we have two opportunities to work with our athletes:
1. Balance 180's 6th Annual Summer Camp, July 15th-August 2nd! Volunteers can join in the morning from 8:00am-12:30pm or in the afternoon from 12:30pm-5:30pm; however, these times can be adjusted to the volunteer's schedule! No gymnastics experience is required to volunteer! Volunteers can sign up for any week or specific days: whatever works for their schedule! Most help is needed in the mornings :) Students who are interested can email Dennis Le at balance180summercamp@gmail.com.
Our inclusive summer camp provides a great hands-on learning experience for student volunteers. Volunteers work 1-1 or 2-1 with participating campers (ages 2-15 years) in a wide range of activities, such as gymnastics, crafts, and games! Volunteers help athletes make new friends, learn new motor skills, and encourage the athletes to try new activities! Our athletes have a range of disabilities including autism, Down syndrome, ADD/ADHD, and cerebral palsy, among others.
2. Adaptive Gymnastics Classes - Saturdays, 12:30-1:30pm from May 25th-August 3rd! This is a gymnastics class that is specifically designed for children with varying abilities. We set up the gym in 4 rotations, including vault, floor, beam, and bars, so that our athletes can work on a variety of motor skills. If you are interested in being a part of the Adaptive Gymnastics volunteer team, please contact Stephanie Thompson at balance180adaptivegymvolunteer@gmail.com. No gymnastics experience is required to volunteer.
We are so excited to be offering these programs and hope you will be able to join us and benefit from this learning experience! Thank you for your help and support of our mission!
Sincerely,
Dennis for the Balance 180 Team
