Opportunity Description:

March of Dimes Canada is gearing up for our Summer Conductive Education camp!   We are looking for 3-5 volunteers per week to help us out.   Conductive Education® (CE) is a program that combines physical rehabilitation and education to help children and adults with neurological motor disorders. Conductive Education works on the brain to change the body. Participants are taught skills and techniques to help them overcome the challenges of their disability – they will learn how to apply these strategies to their everyday life, becoming more independent.   Volunteers will work closely with our trained instructors to help provide fun camp activities and gain experience for future work placements.     Here are the weeks:   Week 1: July 10th – 13th  from Monday – Thursday8:30 am – 2pm (Children)   Week 2: July 17th – July 20th  from Monday – Thursday8:30 am – 2pm (Children)   Week 3: July 24th – 27th from Monday – Thursday8:30 am – 2pm (Children)   Week 4: July 31st – August 3rd  from Monday – Thursday 8:30am – 2pm (Teen)   Week 5: August 8th – 10th from Tuesday – Thursday 9:30am –  12:30pm (Parent & Child)   Week 6: August 14th – 17th from Tuesday – Thursday 9:30am – 12:30pm (Parent & Child)   If interested, we ask that you commit to a full week if possible in order to keep it consistent for our campers 😊
