wellness Ambassadors

Berkeley Lab Wellness Ambassadors play a key role in supporting Healthy & Well initiatives by sharing resources and events with their areas, divisions, and coworkers and, in doing so, promote a culture of whole-person wellness at LBNL. Once approved, the Wellness Ambassadors are added to an email group and sent monthly health & wellness content. They can then share the resources via email announcements, one-minute slides, division newsletters and more. See below for the details. 

Come join the team!
