What are the benefits of being a Student Wellness Ninja? 

You will receive training designed specifically for the Student Wellness Ninjas. The topics will focus on the science of social connections, empathy and sensitivity as well as training on supports and resources.

You will be able to participate in events and initiatives that fit your schedule. We ask that you are involved in a minimum of two missions per semester. These missions must be completed in addition to the two-hour training session in order to receive an official Co-Curricular Record on your transcript.

The initiatives you are involved in will provide you with invaluable new skills: teamwork, leadership, organization and time management.

One of the greatest benefits of helping others are the positive emotions that these acts induce. Volunteering has been shown to help you become more resilient and to increase your overall physiological health and well-being.
