McMaster Okanagan Office of Health & Well-being

Prioritizing Optimal Health & Well-being at McMaster

Student Volunteer Program

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.

Applications are currently closed for the 2024-2025 academic year, and will re-open for 2025-2026.

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.
