Volunteering in Sarnia-Lambton

VOLUNTEERING: A Great Way To Grow

Forever Fit: Exercise Classes for older adults

Instruct a fitness class for older adults.  We will send you to training at the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging in London where you will learn Senior Fitness instruction. 

Lambton Elderly Outreach offers a one hour low impact exercise class for those 60+ based on the design by the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging (CCAA)

All volunteers go through a training program through a certified trainer from the CCAA.

Classes are offered in various towns throughout Lambton County based on instructor availability.  Classes run from one to three times per week.  The volunteer coordinator assists with the administration of the program, including obtaining space for the program to be held, and ensuring equipment is kept up to date.
