Student Wellness is recruiting students to serve as our Peer Wellness Ambassadors at the Elkhorn, South, and Fort Omaha campuses. A Peer Wellness Ambassador (PWA) promotes overall student wellbeing by working with their peers to increase awareness of wellness resources on/off campus, provide support, and encourage responsible decision-making. Ambassadors will support other students in realizing their own wellness goals through a strengths-focused, and positive approach. Some of the typical coaching topics include stress reduction, goal setting, time management, self-care, and emotional wellbeing.
It is important to note this is not considered therapy, but rather a navigator on their wellness journey.
