The Master Wellness Volunteer initiative is a Texas AgriLife Extension Service program that will provide volunteers with 40 hours of training in health and nutrition education. In return, the volunteers agree to give back 40 hours of service.
The volunteer opportunities are diverse – giving presentations for local community groups, assisting with nutrition and health related programs, distributing information at health fairs, and much more. Previous health or wellness training is not required, but an interest in living healthfully and helping others do the same is.
Dallas County will conduct a 5-day training on February 3, 10, 17, 25 and March 3, 2011, 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. each day.
