Do you want to see more happiness and kindness in the world? Action for Happiness are looking for dynamic volunteers to be part of creating exactly that! Our volunteers bring people together for shared learning experiences, based on positive psychology, that boost the well being of everyone involved. Our groups and courses are run by our volunteers, either online or in-person, in your local area. Could you help to run one of them? - The amazing 6-week Happiness Habits Course is designed to be run by pairs of volunteers. 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, you 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. Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world. You don’t have to be an expert or be happy all the time. If you are a warm and enthusiastic person that is more than enough to get started. How do I know it’s right for me? Completing our volunteer training will help you to decide. We've designed it especially to help you answer questions like this, as it explains thoroughly what being a volunteer involves and helps you reflect on your readiness. Apply today! Together, we can inspire change that ripples out through people’s lives, communities and the world.

Organising & Planning
Action for Happiness welcomes a wide range of applicants through our Volunteer Training. You don't need to be a professional coach or trainer, as long as your motivations and character align with our values you have it in you to be an Action for Happiness volunteer. You need to be 18 or over, and because we'll invest in you (our training and support is high quality), you need to see this not just as a short-term role but something you're likely to do more long-term.
Do something that matters: spreading happiness and witnessing people transform for the better is a huge source of meaning. Grow your skills: inspiring others, learning together and reinforcing your own happiness skills all contribute to personal growth. Build community: meeting like-minded people, building lasting friendships and belonging to a global happiness-loving community contributing to a better future for all. Currently there are no groups in Tower Hamlets but as a volunteer you can set up a group yourself.
You'll need to set aside a couple of hours for the training initially and a few more for planning your course or group and connecting with your co-volunteer. Then you'll need a couple of hours per session for facilitating (x6 weekly sessions for a course, or x 1 session per month for a group).
N/A
The training is online but the course and groups can be facilitated either online or at a local venue that Action for Happiness approves. In this case expenses for the venue will be reimbursed, travel expenses to the venue will not be reimbursed.
