Are you a Clarkson student who is passionate about physical and mental wellness? In affiliation with Student Health and Counseling Services (SHAC) at Clarkson University, we invite students to apply for the Wellness Peer program! All majors are invited to apply for this volunteer opportunity, no specific academic background is necessary.
What are Wellness Peers?
Wellness Peers are student leaders who strive to connect with peers, increase personal and community wellbeing across campus, and decrease barriers surrounding help-seeking and self-care. Wellness Peers initiate these wellness conversations with fellow students through Clarkson community presentations, activities, and events that they can create themselves and/or collaborate with other Wellness Peers and campus groups.
Some benefits of being a Wellness Peer include:
· Leadership experience in planning/leading events and programming
· Public speaking experience that benefits credentials for graduate school and/or future career endeavors
· Opportunity to enhance knowledge and develop expertise in a range of topics related to mental health, physical health, and holistic wellness
· Consistent guidance under supervision with SHAC facilitators through weekly Wellness Peer meetings
…and more!
