PARC Volunteers
Since the opening of PARC in 2013, there have been over 300 volunteers who have devoted their time and energy to support PARC. Currently, there are approximately fifty dedicated volunteers and/or WIL
students, each contributing two to four hours of their time each week to help PARC or help with
our online exercise classes.
The responsibilities of our volunteers include creating a positive and social environment and fostering the inclusion of others. They are also responsible for providing support and assistance with equipment use and aiding in adapting equipment to the specific needs of each participant, while maintaining the safety of participants and protecting the equipment.
Many of our volunteers are students from university with a passion for fitness who are looking to gain more experience into healthcare and human physiology. If you are interested in volunteering at PARC, please email parc@icord.org for more information.
