Opportunity Description

The Fitness Leader is a volunteer who leads gentle, accessible movement sessions for tenants in our buildings. This role is a wonderful opportunity to share your passion for health and wellness while making a real difference in the lives of seniors in your community.

Our tenants have varying levels of mobility, so sessions are designed to be low-impact, safe, and welcoming for everyone, whether they are seated, standing with support, or fully mobile. Activities may include light stretching, chair exercises, beginner yoga, tai chi, breathing exercises, and other gentle movements that support flexibility, balance, and overall well-being.

Whether you are a trained fitness professional or a student currently completing fitness, kinesiology, recreation therapy, or related program, this role is a meaningful way to give back, build experience, and connect with your community.

What's in it for you?

Join the Life Enrichment Team to make a genuine impact on the health, mood, and social connection of seniors in our community! Also:

• Build hands-on experience working with older adults in a real-world setting.

• Students may be eligible to have hours counted toward program requirements.

• Your volunteer time will be logged as part of Calgary Heritage Housing's official volunteer program, and we aim to appreciate all our volunteers in meaningful ways throughout the year.

• Be part of a team and gain project management skills

Development & Housing

Calgary Heritage Housing (CHH) has been a steward of local Alberta seniors housing assets for nearly four decades. Our focus is to provide housing and foster a caring, inclusive community for independent seniors with a low-to-moderate income.

In addition to affordable, safe and secure housing, we help tenants in obtaining community-based support services, so they are able to sustain a healthy and functionally independent lifestyle. Our Life Enrichment Team also facilitates opportunities for tenant engagement and encouraging active aging through pop-events, fitness classes, workshops and on-site access to services like dental and foot care.
