About the Role:
Our volunteers bring people together for shared learning experiences, based on positive psychology, that boost the wellbeing of everyone involved.
– The amazing 6-week Happiness Habits course is designed to be run by pairs of volunteers like you. It features expert videos, science-backed exercises and the chance to form meaningful connections. It is a very impactful (many say life-changing) experience.
– If running a 6-week course feels like too big of a first step, don’t worry, you can also get involved by supporting a monthly group (they are a little bit less formal, while still having a huge positive impact!).
Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world. You don’t have to be an expert – or be happy all the time. If you are a warm and enthusiastic person that is more than enough to get started.
Why Volunteer with Us?
- Do something that matters: spreading happiness and witnessing people transform for the better is a huge source of meaning.
- Grow your skills: inspiring others, learning together and reinforcing your own happiness skills all contribute to personal growth.
- Build community: meeting like-minded people, building lasting friendships and belonging to a global community contributing to a better future for all.
