The University of Maine Center on Aging Retired & Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) succesfully manages the free evidence-based exercise program called Bone Builders. This program is designed to prevent and reverse the effects of osteoporosis by increasing bone density through strength and flexibility training, balance exercises, and fall prevention education.
RSVP is currently searching for eager volunteers to support our mission for older adults becoming stronger through Bone Builders, while maintaining the safest environment possible. Volunteers, otherwise known as Lay Leaders, lead year-long classes that are held twice a week, and last an hour and a half in duration. Each Lay Leader would be expected to commit 4 hours a week (2 hours each class). All lay leaders are trained by a certified fitness professional before leading classes and must be able to meet the requirements outlined in our medical clearance form.
We would be pleased to hear about your interest in volunteering in the Greater Bangor Area, specifically at our Old Town-Orono, Hampden, and Bangor locations.
