BreatheFree Volunteer Sign-Up

What is a supporter?

• Student, staff and faculty volunteer "Supporters" are trained to provide education about the smoke-free policy and smoking cessation referral services. 
• Supporters may be seen at information tables or other events where they will provide basic information.
• They will approach individuals who are not following the policy, offer them a card detailing the policy and quit resources, and ask them to extinguish the tobacco product. 
• Supporters will assist with regular "walks" through identified smoking hotspots, and report new locations and number of violators encountered to: nosmoke@d.umn.edu. 

When is the next supporter training?

(Please attend one training session. More sessions will be added as they are scheduled.)

• There are no training sessions scheduled at this time. Please check back.

Support breathefree UMD

Student, staff and faculty volunteers are needed to help spread the word about UMD's smoke-free policy. A workshop will be provided to train volunteers on how to approach violators and what resources are available for smokers to quit. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please fill out the brief on-line application form.

Supporters will receive breathefree badges and other resources to help spread the word. Email nosmoke@d.umn.edu if you want to be involved and for information about the workshops.

You can also help by keeping us informed of campus locations that are frequented by violators. Email nosmoke@d.umn.edu with times and locations. This is a confidential email address.

And help by posting the breathefree poster in high-traffic areas.
