Action for Happiness Volunteers Programmes
A movement of people taking action to create a happier and kinder world, currently seeking volunteers to support their training courses.

Description
Action for Happiness volunteers help bring people together for shared learning experiences, based on positive psychology, to boost the wellbeing of everyone involved. They inspire positive change that ripples out through people’s lives and communities. Volunteers come from all walks of life. They are friendly, kind, open-minded people who want to give some of their time to boost others’ wellbeing. You don’t have to be an expert – or be happy all the time.
There are many ways for volunteers to get involved. You could host stalls at community events, run a regular Group, help out at the Community of Practice, run a Champions Course or a Happiness Habits course. Whatever you decide, volunteering is a really rewarding experience and you’ll make a huge positive impact on people and communities in Northamptonshire! All volunteers receive training and support from the Action for Happiness team.
What do you get out of being a volunteer? Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world.
- 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 community contributing to a better future for all.
