Wellness and Education Instructor | Senior Program
We work with volunteer instructors to provide a variety of wellness and education activities for our Senior Program. Activities can include gentle yoga, meditation, dance, sewing, singing, or any other types of activities that can be adapted for people age 50 years and older. Volunteers should have experience or training in their proposed activity. We require volunteer instructors to complete a criminal background investigation.
If you are interested in becoming a volunteer instructor for our Senior Program, email AARC@AustinTexas.gov.
Collaborations
The City of Austin Museums & Cultural Programs (MCP) initiates its programs in response to a community need. Non-profits, community groups and individuals may suggest a collaborative program that is relevant to MCP and Austin Parks & Recreations Department mission, values, and audience. Collaborations are city-sponsored programs hosted by the MCP site and presented in tandem with the collaborator. All collaborations are to be offered to the public free of charge and collaborators “volunteer” their service at no cost to the department.
