Lead a Walk with Ease walking group

Salt Lake County Aging and Adult Services is looking for individuals to teach Walk With Ease classes at the county senior centers.   Currently looking for Rose Park and Holladay areas.

Walk with Ease
Walk with Ease is a walking program developed by the Arthritis Foundation.  The class empowers people who have been sedentary to start a walking program.   Benefits for this program include: motivation to get in shape, tips on walking safely and with comfort, improved flexibility, strength and endurance. You can volunteer to lead a Walk with Ease group where you will have the opportunity to discuss health-related topics, and guide self-paced group walks.

Classes are held 3x a week for 1 hour for 6 weeks. 
$360 volunteer stipend available

A 2 hour online training is required and you must commit to teach 2 series in on year.
