Outreach and Well-being Leaders Engagement Team
The Outreach and Well-being Leader Engagement Team (OWLET program) consists of dedicated student volunteers passionate about raising awareness on mental health and well-being. They support the NAIT Mental Health and Well-being team with tasks such as event preparation, promotion, facilitation and engaging with event participants.
By getting involved in this program, volunteers will receive opportunities for personal and professional development, build connections with the NAIT community and contribute to a healthy, inclusive and supportive campus environment.
