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.
