PEAK's core responsibility is to provide practical training and education for undergraduate and graduate students in the College of Health.

Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteering offers you the chance to try out a career field without making a long-term commitment. It is also a great way to gain experience in a new area. PEAK Health and Fitness provides volunteers with training and mentorship to practice the skills you learn about in academic classes. Volunteering can help you build upon skills you already have and use them to benefit the community.
