Special to The News
Finding reliable re-

challenge. Since 1906,

healthy living.
The Master Wellness
Volunteer Initiative is an
AgriLife Extension pro-
gram that provides volun-
teers with 40 hours of train-
ing in health and nutrition
education. In return, the
volunteers agree to give
back 40 hours of service.
The volunteer opportuni-
ties are diverse giving
presentations for local
community groups, assist-
ing with periodic cooking
schools, distributing infor-
mation at health fairs, and
much more. Previous
"health or wellness training
is not required, but an inter-
est in living healthfully and
helping others to do the
same is.
"The mission of Texas
A&M AgriLife Extension
Service to provide quality
research-based information
to the public is dependent
on the involvement of
trained volunteers to ex-
tend our reach into the
community. Each of the
programs offered by Texas
A&M AgriLife Extension
