Needs From: Volunteer Houston

Bloom is leading adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to a lifetime of community-driven health and wellness. One way we do this is through on-demand videos accessible to adults with IDD at their day habilitation center. Bloom recently filmed a new batch of highly-engaging fitness videos, and we need to get these loaded onto USB drives for dispersal. 

The volunteer that selects this position will meet with a Bloom staff member to pick up USB drives. Then, with access to our videos (stored on Vimeo), you will upload them to the correct USB drives. There are approximately 60 USB drives. 

While the work sounds inconsequential, it is of utmost importance to approximately 500 athletes across Greater Houston who are looking forward to using their new Bloom Box drives. 

Bloom leads adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to a lifetime of community-driven health and wellness. We offer in-person classes at partnership locations and virtual classes through our fitness app. Classes include strength, dance, yoga, Pilates, indoor cycle, and chair fitness. Bloom is always looking for volunteers to teach or help facilitate a class.  

Please note that to facilitate a class (in partnership with a live or virtual coach), no fitness instruction experience is needed. Bloom provides the training. The only requirement to enjoy this position are a desire to commit to the athletes over time. 

To teach a yoga or Pilates class, volunteers must be certified. To teach any other class, fitness experience is preferred. 

Also, the need is listed as zip code 77003; however, we provide services across Greater Houston. Contact us for more information. 

Volunteers will either: provide support to athletes during their Bloom Fitness virtual/on-demand class or, if certified, the volunteer can create and lead their class. Classes include dance, strength, yoga, Pilates, and chair fitness. 

Classes take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 am and 2 pm. Classes are 30 minutes long.
