Becoming a Master Wellness Volunteer

The UNH Extension Master Wellness Volunteer Program is an opportunity for adults to engage in learning sessions focused on creating community change for health.

This unique program allows volunteers to connect with others as they build toolboxes for impacting individual and community health factors, environments and systems.

Topics covered include:

  • nutrition
  • physical activity
  • disease prevention
  • health equity
  • public speaking skills
  • and so much more!

For those interested in creating community change and becoming health champions, we are currently inviting adult individuals who are interested in volunteering in New Hampshire to the Spring Session 2023 of the Master Wellness Volunteer Program. Volunteers will undergo a standard background screening before admission.

The Master Wellness Volunteer program will require a total of 30 - 40 hours to complete: After 20 hours of core training, volunteers will branch out into their 10 -20 hours of specialized pathway training that they can choose to participate in. Specialized pathway training sessions will focus on one of the following topics:
