About the Program
Every Body Athletics' mission is to create lasting impact on the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of adults with disabilities through inclusive group exercise. Every Body Athletics believes that everybody is an athlete, regardless of physical or cognitive capacities. Every Body Athletics also gets its name from our focus on exercising every part of the body: physical, social, and emotional. Lastly, Every Body Athletics understands that we all benefit when everybody is included in our society and communities. Volunteers are an integral part of Every Body Athletics, providing our athletes with a safe, positive, inclusive environment to gain and maintain the physical, social, and emotional skills needed in their adult lives.
About the Project
During each one-hour session, EBA teammates will:
- Work out alongside our athletes, either 1-on-1 or in small groups, as you move through different exercise stations
- Model proper exercise techniques and modifications using our exercise guide
- Help athletes strengthen social-emotional skills by facilitating positive conversations and interactions
- Lead stretches, small group exercise games/activities, and conversation starters
- Provide encouragement to athletes throughout class
Project Requirements:
-
Volunteers must be 14 years of age or older to attend this project.
-
All volunteers under 18 are required to bring a Youth Volunteer Release Form signed by their parent or legal guardian. Please download, complete, and bring this waiver with you on the day of the project.

If you plan to bring children or guests you MUST reserve slots for them. The best way to do this is to create a Volunteer Team, then sign up your team for this project. In the spirit of creating an atmosphere where people from all parts of our community are coming together to volunteer,
Team Captains are only able to reserve up to 50% of the spots on any individual Community Impact Week Service Project. Team Captains are required to provide names and email addresses for each team member (over the age of 13) in order to hold spaces on a volunteer project or they may be removed from the project.
