Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Satellite Affordable Housing Associates

SAHA Logo
In December 2012, Satellite Housing and Affordable Housing Associates merged to create SAHA, an organization dedicated to providing quality, service-enriched affordable housing to East Bay residents.

Do you enjoy exercising and teaching others to live healthier lives? Volunteer to lead an exercise class for seniors living at our Lawrence Moore Manor site in Berkeley. Day and time are flexible. We just ask that you commit to 1 hour weekly for 4 months.

Through leading an exercise class you will help to give low-income seniors, an outlet for physical energy and help them to enrich their overall wellness. The volunteer will prepare an agenda for each class and lead residents through various exercises while providing positive feedback and support. If you're looking to make a difference in your community, this is a wonderful opportunity to gain teaching experience with students who are eager to learn.

Requirements: Ongoing SAHA Community Volunteers must commit to volunteer once a week for a minimum of 4 months, and must complete a volunteer orientation, volunteer forms and background screening prior to beginning their placement.
