Volunteering with Curious Motion is a rewarding and uplifting experience where you can nourish your own wellbeing and play a part in supporting others to live healthy and happy lives.
Overview
We are looking for volunteers to support us with the general running and setup/ close of our regular classes and workshops sessions. There is the option to enjoy a free class as part of your volunteering role too if you would like to!
Curious Motion has a fast-growing programme of dance, movement, and creative classes and workshops taking place regularly in Elland in various community venues. We are currently embarking on a three-year project focused on embedding our activities in the area to tackle chronic loneliness and make excellent arts and health activity accessible to more people in the lower valley, and our regular programme is a key part of this.

We are currently looking for volunteers to support our classes and workshops programme.
Key tasks may include:

Job Pack/ Further Information
Our classes and workshops programme evolves over time, but we are always keen to hear from people who would like to support us by volunteering, particularly if you’re able to support us regularly. For further information on the days, times, and venues of our current programme please use the menu above to navigate to the classes and workshops section of our website.
We take a bespoke and proportional approach to recruiting volunteers. Interested volunteers are first invited to have an informal conversation with us and they may also like to visit a session or activity to get to know us a bit more.
For regular volunteers, we then ask them to register with us via a short form and they will need to provide information for two referees. A DBS check may also be required for some volunteers. If their application is accepted we will then support each volunteer to get involved one a one-to-one basis.
For one-off volunteering opportunities, we invite people to have an informal chat with us to begin with. If they are accepted as a volunteer they may need to attend a short (1.5 hours max) introductory/briefing session for the activity or project they will be supporting.
