Exercise together – apply for a peer instructor position and get yourself and others to exercise

AYY, UniSport and FSHS offer you the opportunity to gain new student experiences. At the turn of February-March, a new group is established in Otaniemi. The objective of the group is to activate those students to exercise who find it challenging to exercise alone or who do not get desired social contact from their current hobby. The main emphasis is in the creation and strengthening of social relations, along with fun exercise. Now we are looking for 4-6 peer instructors for this group from among Aalto University students.

A peer instructor meets once a week with the group and they try out fun and new or already familiar sports. A peer instructor does not have to have experience in sports instruction, enthusiasm for learning new things and group leading are enough. Peer instructors are trained for their duty before the course begins. The training lasts for a total of approx. 6 hours (3 x 2h). The groups will start in February-March and meet 10 times during the spring, according to agreed schedules. UniSport provides services for the group for free. Peer instructors receive a free UniSport season pass for their full-term contribution.

Please send an informal application by 23 Jan 2013 via e-mail to liikunta@ayy.fi. Please tell about yourself and why you would like to become a peer instructor and what are your expectations of the task. Elected persons are announced via e-mail by 30 Jan 2013. Participation in the training is a prerequisite for the election.
