💓 Support students in recovery in the Recovery and Hope Ally Program
Student Development and Counselling is recruiting students for Outreach Wellness Leader (OWL) positions for Fall 2026 and Winter 2027, including those who can support the Recovery and Hope Ally Program.
This program recognizes lived experience in recovery from any type of substance use, or experience supporting someone managing addiction or recovery, as an important source of empathy, hope and peer support. Students who bring these experiences can make a meaningful difference in creating a supportive and stigma-free campus community.
