Thank you to all those who have applied to volunteer with our team for 2024-25 academic year. We are currently reviewing all applications and will be in touch with each of you soon.
About the Program
With support from the McMaster Okanagan Office of Health & Well-being, Student Volunteers engage with the McMaster community to improve the health and well-being of all students, staff, and faculty across McMaster campuses and our community. As a Student Volunteer, in addition to helping community members on campus, you can learn health and well-being skills and strategies for your own success, enhance your communication and leadership skills, plus meet other students who share similar interests.
This is a hybrid volunteer program with both online and in-person components. The weekly time commitment is flexible and may vary by week.
The Role of Student Volunteers
Student Volunteers are responsible for supporting the initiatives of the McMaster Okanagan Office of Health & Well-being through a variety of activities, such as content creation (ex. video and graphics for social media), outreach (ex. events and promotion), and project support (ex. Bring Your Own Bottle). Student Volunteers can also help connect community members with appropriate resources and supports on campus.
Application Process
Before applying make sure you meet our eligibility criteria.
To be eligible for the Student Volunteer Program, students must be currently enrolled at McMaster University (undergraduate or graduate) and demonstrate a genuine commitment to health and well-being.
Applications for the 2024-25 academic year are now closed.
If you have any questions please reach out to our office at okanagan@mcmaster.ca.
