Empower older adults through music, movement and creativity.

Bring Your Spark — Volunteer With Us!

At Empowered by Movement, joy isn’t just something we talk about — it’s something we create together. Our movement, music, and creative arts programs empower older adults — including those with Parkinson’s and varied movement abilities — to feel energized, connected, and confident. And volunteers are a huge part of that magic.

Whether you love being in the room lifting spirits, prefer supporting behind the scenes, or enjoy helping dream up special events, there’s a place here for you.

Your presence helps older adults feel seen, supported, and uplifted. One smile, one warm welcome, one moment of connection can absolutely change someone’s day.

You’ll shine here if you are…

  • Joyful and encouraging

  • Compassionate and genuinely care about others

  • Dependable and community-focused

  • Creative and curious

  • Someone who loves making others feel welcome and valued

Explore the ways you can get involved.

Whether you’re welcoming participants, planning events, serving on a committee, or helping guide our vision, every role strengthens this movement. Find where your skills, leadership, or passion can help us grow.

When you have been the recipient of other people pouring their joy into you, you can’t help but want to pass it on! While going through a dark time in our family, God gave me the word JOY to reflect on. One thing I learned about myself is that I get a lot of JOY out of serving others. I love drawing smiles out of people who are apathetic or feeling down. Volunteering with EbM gives me a unique opportunity to share my JOY with those who have Parkinson Disease and are struggling with “off” days. Having been diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson Disease 4 years go, I understand all too well their emotions and difficult symptoms. So being able to pour into this amazing group and doing what I can to make their lives a little brighter is what brings me the most JOY!
