More Than a Summer Job. A Career Launchpad. 🚀

Are you ready to join a nationally award-winning team and become a voice for change on campus? If you’re looking for a role that combines professional leadership training, community advocacy, and—let’s be real—free food, you’ve found your match.

At the Health Promotion Division (HPD), we don’t just talk about wellness, we create a culture where students actually thrive. We are looking for the next generation of leaders to help us champion social justice and mental health at RU-N.

Why Join the HPD Movement?
This isn’t your average campus job. As a Peer Educator, you’ll gain national certifications and master high-level skills in:

Public Speaking & Leadership

Social Justice Advocacy (Racism, LGBTQ+ rights, & Sex Positivity)

Crisis Intervention & Mental Health Awareness

Strategic Health Promotion

Choose Your Path: Two Teams, One Mission
1. Student Health Advocates (SHA) | The Influencers Become a campus catalyst. Through interactive exhibits and public speaking, SHAs break down the wellness issues that matter most. You won't just be sharing resources, you’ll be shifting the campus culture.

2. Unity Theatre | The Creators No experience? No problem. Unity uses applied theatre and improvisation to spark dialogue. As an actor-educator, you’ll perform scenes that help your peers practice bystander intervention and navigate real-life social justice challenges.

Bonus Career Growth: Once you've mastered the Peer Educator role, you can level up to become a Peer Wellness Coach. You’ll lead one-on-one sessions to help fellow students build custom "thriving plans." (Requires a 40-hour summer intensive).

The Fine Print (Commitment & Eligibility)
We invest heavily in our team, so we’re looking for students who are ready to commit from Summer 2026 through Spring 2027.

Eligibility: Must be a current student graduating in 2027 or later. (Class of 2026, we love you, but this one isn't for you!)

Weekly Vibe: Training happens every Friday from 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM. It’s the best way to end your week—guaranteed.
