Volunteer Facilitator for Action For Happiness. Join Us in Making a Difference - Our volunteers inspire positive change that ripples outwards

Do you want to see more happiness and kindness in the world? We’re looking for dynamic Volunteers to be part of creating exactly that!

https://actionforhappiness.org/volunteer-training?utm=AD-VZ

About the Role:


Our volunteers bring people together for shared online 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.


How do I know it’s right for me?
