Connections Area Agency on Aging

Connections Area Agency on Aging is in need of volunteers to lead our virtual, and in person (at a later date) Bingocize evidence-based program. Bingocize® is a 10-week program designed to increase physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior. Specifically, Bingocize® can increase older adults’ functional fitness, knowledge of falls prevention, and social engagement in a variety of settings, including community senior centers and congregate meal sites. The program combines a bingo-like game with physical activity and/or health education (falls prevention and nutrition). Participants play Bingocize® twice per week on nonconsecutive days, with each 45-60 minute session consisting of exercises (range of motion, balance, muscle strengthening, and endurance exercises) and/or health education questions. Online leader training consists of five self-paced modules, costs for the training will be covered by Connections AAA.
