Action For Happiness Volunteer

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!

Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world.

Register your interest now. Together, we can inspire change that ripples out through people’s lives, communities and the world.

Main tasks and responsibilities 

• Bring people together for shared learning experiences, based on positive psychology, that boost the wellbeing of everyone involved. 
• In pairs, volunteers will run the amazing 6-week  Happiness Habits Course. It features expert videos, science-backed exercises and the chance to form meaningful connections. Our course has been specially designed to gather the insights of the world's leading experts on six fundamental aspects of a happy and meaningful life: Gratitude, Self-Care, Relationships, Resilience, Kindness, and Meaning. It is a very impactful (many say life-changing) experience.
• Alternatively, volunteers can get involved by supporting a Monthly Group, bringing like-minded people together to learn evidence-based tools for creating a happier and more meaningful life. Explore the monthly themes and encourage people to set personal actions towards happiness, that support both themselves and others.
