MOVEMENT MENTORS- Dance, move, stretch, create and connect with people with disabilities! Bloom Wellness Collective (Bloom) is on a journey to make Dance and Expressive Arts accessible to those of all ages living with disabilities. We use movement as a catalyst for self-expression, connection, sustainable health, emotional regulation, and, above all, JOY! We are seeking volunteers ages 15+ who are energetic, playful, and enthusiastic to participate as Movement Mentors in our sessional and Summer camp 2024 programs. In this role, you will engage in movement, dance, music and/or art with others while connecting with and supporting our participants with disabilities in a fun, inclusive environment. Mentors will receive training and hands-on guidance from our skilled facilitators to provide physical, behavioral and cognitive support to our participants. Each mentor is paired with a participant with whom they will build a connection and trusting relationship. Movement Mentors will: • Gain valuable work experience • Engage in meaningful interactions • Participate in heart-pumping exercises • Create long lasting memories • Leave each class with a FULL heart! The ability to dance/move physically is a MUST! Comfort and previous experience supporting participants with disabilities is an asset, though not mandatory.
