What You’ll Do

Drawing on the NASPA Certified Peer Educator model and the transformative role of art in emotional well-being, you will:

  • Lead wellness workshops and creative activities that foster self-expression, mindfulness, and positive coping—using media from collage to painting and beyond.

  • Offer peer support using active listening and compassionate guidance and connect students to campus resources.
  • Collaborate with wellness staff, faculty, and creative student groups on projects that blend art and health advocacy.
  • Receive comprehensive training in leadership, mental health, and peer education based on the NASPA Certified Peer Educator (CPE) model.


Why This Role?

  • Use your creative talents to make a real impact within your art school community.
  • Turn your passion for art and wellness into valuable professional experience.
  • Earn NASPA CPE certification and gain skills in communication, group facilitation, and health outreach—all while getting paid for your work!
  • Enjoy a flexible schedule (3-5 hours per week) and a supportive collaborative team.

Who We’re Looking For?

  • Current undergraduate or graduate art students with a commitment to wellness and supporting others.
  • Creative thinkers eager to integrate the arts into wellness education.
  • No prior peer support experience needed—training provided!
