Our volunteers bring people together for shared learning experiences, based on positive psychology, that boost the wellbeing of everyone involved.

Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world. You don’t have to be an expert - or be happy all the time. If you are a warm and enthusiastic person that is more than enough to get started.


Why Volunteer with Us?

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.
