Last week was National Volunteer Week and we took some time to recognize all of our wonderful volunteers since the very start of Blue Zones Project in Monterey County. 

Volunteers are an essential part of Blue Zones Project. We could not be making the the healthy choice the easy choice among our community with out them. Our volunteers help us in a variety of ways. For example: 

Committee Members: these volunteers commit their time on a monthly basis to share their expertise and leadership qualities for the project. They help connect the dots and encourage collaboration among key stakeholders in the community. 

Purpose Workshop Facilitators: these volunteers have gone through extensive training to facilitate Purpose Workshops for our community. They encourage others to dig deeper into their purpose and find ways to Live on Purpose on a daily basis. 

Moai Leaders: these volunteers are the glue to building long-lasting connections among members of our community. They encourage their Moai groups to be accountable to one another and connect on a weekly-basis. 

Community Outreach Ambassadors: these volunteers are all-stars in community outreach settings. They can answer all of your questions regarding the history of Blue Zones Project and get you and your family starting on taking the next steps to live longer, better.  

General Volunteers: these volunteers are our clutch! They are ready to help out wherever the opportunity is, whether it is a park clean up, organizing our office space, event set-up and more!

Thank you to all of our wonderful and amazing volunteers!
