Vida Sana
What is Vida Sana?
Vida Sana is a volunteer-led program that empowers participants to better understand—and possibly prevent—chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Through accessible education, personal support, and a strong community network, the program helps participants make and maintain healthy lifestyle changes. Participants get to meet with volunteers in small group settings to learn and connect with others.
How Do I Get Involved?
Volunteer Description: Using curriculum created by BYU professors and board certified doctors, volunteers will have the opportunity to teach small classes online or in person concerning health and wellness in either English or Spanish. Serving as supportive peers who offer encouragement, accountability, and motivation by creating meaningful relationships, will help participants create new lifestyle habits. Volunteers will also encourage participants to join and also attend seminars with BYU professors and board-certified doctors and activities held by Vida Sana.
Volunteer Commitment: We ask that volunteers commit to volunteer for at least two semesters (Fall-Winter), 1-3 hours a week!
Please complete this survey to get started! We will then email you with further information on how to get started.
BECOME A LEADER
Volunteer Leader Description: There are two kinds of leadership positions: Lead Program Director and Program Director. A program only has one Lead Program Director, but multiple Program Directors. Leaders are generally responsible for overseeing recruitment, retention, and reflection with volunteers. They also coordinate service with community partners and ensure their program runs smoothly. Volunteer leaders may also share the responsibilities of volunteers as outlined in the Volunteer Description. For more information, visit our section called Be a Leader!
Volunteer Leader Commitment: In addition to volunteering, Volunteer leaders commit to a 1-hour monthly team meeting to discuss needs and make plans for the program.
