*_Duck Nest Wellness Center Recruiting Volunteers:_*

Peer Wellness Advocates are students who are interested in helping 
promote wellness and general well-being on our campus. Being a Peer 
Wellness Advocate (PWA) involves being a resource for students by 
staffing the center for a two hour shift each week and being part of an 
outreach group that focuses on a specific topic, as well as the 
potential for special volunteer opportunities such as presenting to 
groups on different topics (ex. How to Support a Friend) or helping to 
lead cooking classes. Topics of focus this year include nutrition, 
mental wellbeing, sexual health, body positivity, and social health, but 
are likely to change each year. The weekly time commitment for this 
volunteer position is about 4 hours/week and it is a great way to gain 
experience, get more involved with health initiatives on campus, and 
learn about healthy equity and public health.

PWA applications are open from January 2-30. The link can be found on 
the Duck Nest website (https://health.uoregon.edu/ducknest) or at the 
following link: 
https://uoregon.campuslabs.com/engage/submitter/form/start/373031.Each 
volunteer who is selected will sign up for a 3 credit, upper division 
course taught on Mondays from 4pm-6:50pm in the Spring (where they will 
learn about campus resources, peer health education, and a variety of 
health topics) and will start volunteering at the center the following 
Fall term.

If you have questions or would like more information please email 
peerhealth at uoregon.edu <mailto:peerhealth at uoregon.edu>.
