Student Health and Well-Being

Wellness Ambassadors

Welcome to the Wellness Ambassadors program at Oberlin College! Our ambassadors are a diverse group of students dedicated to promoting health and wellness across campus. Through peer-to-peer support, workshops, and outreach, they empower their fellow students to thrive in all eight dimensions of wellness: emotional, physical, social, occupational, intellectual, environmental, spiritual, and financial.

Wellness Ambassadors are student employees of Student Health Promotion and Prevention Services, trained as Certified Peer Educators. They are dedicated to supporting their peers by promoting holistic wellness and providing guidance in areas such as mental health, stress management, and self-care.
