Wood looking for Walking Ambassador

Wood Library has two "Walking Ambassador" volunteer positions with stipends of $300 each. Great opportunity for people in-between jobs or retirees. The volunteers will help plan and run a 10-week walking, fitness program at Wood Library in Fall 2009. Volunteers will work with a small group of people age 50 and over who want to make exercise and walking part of their lives. The program is part exercise, part education, part inspiration. You don't need to be a fitness expert, just be committed to the notion that exercise is beneficial, be able to inspire others, like working with people, and have presentation and organizational skills. Supervision, training manual and materials provided. The project is funded by FF Thompson Foundation in partnership with Wood Library.
