Rockwall County Master Wellness Volunteers Needed

Training for New Master Wellness Volunteers begins January 21, 2026.

Rockwall County, TX (January 20, 2026) – The Master Wellness Volunteer Initiative is an AgriLife Extension program that provides volunteers with 40 hours of training in health and nutrition education. In return, the volunteers agree to give back 40 hours of service. The volunteer opportunities are diverse – giving presentations for local community groups, assisting with periodic food preparation and education, distributing information at health fairs, and much more. Previous health or wellness training is not required, but sharing what you enjoy with others is important. The training will focus on active living, nutrition, food safety, and related topics.
