Active SWV Community Captains are champions of their communities who want to lead others to healthier and active lifestyles. They remove barriers preventing people in our community from being active by providing free weekly and monthly physical activity programs and have fun along the way. Activities range from walking and running groups to Tai Chi and yoga. The activity a Community Captain leads depends on what resources are in their community and the skills and interest of the Community Captain. A Community Captain volunteers their time and is continually supported by the staff at Active SWV.
