The Groton Council on Aging is looking for a dedicated volunteer interested in becoming a trained Bone Builders Leader to teach a class of 20 seniors the Bone Builders curriculum twice a week.
Bone Builders, sponsored by Community Teamwork Senior Corp Volunteer Program, is a free fitness class opportunity designed for seniors. Using light weights, the routines are centered around slow, methodical movements. A study in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness found that low-weight, high repetition resistance training is especially effective for increasing bone mineral density in adults. Participants in the study experienced up to 8% bone density increases in their arms, pelvis, spine, and legs.
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.

The Groton Council on Aging serves as the community focal point promoting the independence of older adults through information and referral, support, health and wellness, socialization and education. We provide opportunities for all individuals as they age by leveraging resources, developing a sustainable future, and engaging in strong partnerships and collaborations.
The Groton Center opened a brand new building in 2019 right before the pandemic hit. We are now fully open and are looking to offer as many opportunities to seniors in the community as we can!
