Peer Ambassadors of Wellness 

Help Build a Healthier Fresno State - Become a PAW! 

Peer Ambassadors of Wellness (PAWs) are responsible for promoting the health and well-being of our Fresno State students.

PAW Volunteers: 

• Develop and implement activities and campaigns on a variety of health and wellness topics
• Engage in conversations around health and wellness through Wellness Bites featured on social media
• Facilitate classroom presentations on stress management and other wellness topics
• Support the semi-annual one-day Wellness Retreat
• Use social media as a tool to promote health and wellness programming to your peers
• Make a one-semester commitment serving an average of 3 hours weekly throughout the Fall 2026 semester.
• Attend mandatory weekly meetings (1 hour) every Monday at Noon
• All volunteers must maintain a 2.0 minimum semester GPA throughout the application process.

We have already identified our Fall 2026 PAW volunteers. Recruitment for our Spring 2027 PAW Cohort will kick off in October.

In addition to PAWs, the Student Health and Counseling Center also supports the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), which provides students with opportunities to share feedback and help shape campus health services.
