Join Us as a Peer Volunteer!

Are you interested in being a part of the things we do?

Come to the Adapt office and sign up to be a Peer Volunteer.

As a Peer Volunteer, you can assist with Night Life @ UND activities, research alcohol and other wellness topics, help develop new programs, assist in presentations, and help serve mocktails!

Through volunteering, you gain valuable leadership skills, meet new people, become a campus leader, and it looks great on your resume. The best part is, you decide how involved you would like to become. Whether you volunteer for one hour or ten, your time is greatly appreciated and we would love your help.
