As an EBA Teammate, you will work out alongside our athletes with ID/DD, model proper techniques, and provide encouragement along the way, and help our athletes exercise their social-emotional skills by facilitating positive interactions among all participants.
As an EBA Teammate on Zoom, you will work out virtually with our athletes with ID/DD, model proper techniques, and provide encouragement along the way, and help our athletes exercise their social-emotional skills by facilitating positive interactions among all participants. At times, you will be working one-on-one with an athlete in a breakout room and providing assistance as s/he moves through different exercise stations. Throughout it all, you will be 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.
Wear comfortable activewear and shoes that you are comfortable moving around in! We use at-home items as our exercise equipment (i.e. canned food, tape, throw pillow, etc.). Having water nearby is also important!
Each EBA Teammate will need to complete our EBA Volunteer Registration Form. In addition, we will have each adult-age volunteer complete a third-party background check.
After graduating from high school and aging out of special education, adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (ID/DD) are over twice as likely as those without disabilities to have their basic physical activity needs go unmet and seven times more likely to report inadequate social and emotional support. Every Body Athletics addresses this regression in services by creating a 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. Your role as a volunteer (“teammate”) is very important, as you will help ensure that these tenets are being realized while also providing our athletes with a safe, positive, and inclusive environment to gain and maintain the physical, social, and emotional skills needed in their adult lives.
