Why volunteer for SAMU? What’s in it for you?
At SAMU you’ll be appreciated and rewarded for your hard work volunteering. We never take our volunteers for granted. Without you, we couldn’t do what we do.
Volunteering teaches you about your strengths and weaknesses, what you like and don’t like and what type of work environments or careers might suit you best. If you want to gain some valuable insight, volunteering is a great way to go about it. It’s a great way to test out a new career or program before diving in.
If this isn’t enough to inspire you, SAMU provides plenty of rewards for volunteering. The volunteers have a Volunteer Holiday and a Year-End Party. SAMU also offers an Incentive Program (VIP) to reward volunteers for their commitment to the SAMU team with a variety of items including branded SAMU Volunteer items, Gift Cards, Training Opportunities and Charity Donations. Based on the hours committed to SAMU, volunteer will earn points within VolunteerHub and will reach reward levels that entitle them to these rewards.
How the Incentive Program works:
The levels of the Volunteer Incentive Program:
Brass (10-24 points)
Bronze (24-49 points)
Silver (50-74 points)
Gold (75-99 points)
Platinum (100-149 points)
Diamond (150+ Points)
The volunteer incentive items are given out at the end of both the fall and winter semesters and volunteer points are on a per academic year basis.

SAMU Programs aim to provide students with activities and opportunities to learn about wellbeing, as well as raising awareness about various resources available to students, both in and outside the MacEwan community.
Our mission is to provide ongoing and one-off programming with the direct aim to improve the long-term wellbeing of MacEwan students and their community.
SAMU Programs consist of the Student Refugee Program (SRP), StressLess, Sustainability, SAMU Cares, and Artworks. SAMU Programs also runs a variety of other programming and interactive campaigns, blog posts, hands out wellness bags, and organizes activities that fall under two umbrellas of focus – Wellbeing and Community.
Please note, all SAMU programming is subject to change as we respond to updates and guidelines for COVID-19.

Stress is a common and normal issue for a student to experience. It can be the result of any number of problems.
Signs of stress can be physical, emotional, or behavioural. Some common symptoms of feeling stressed include:
Sleep problems
Irritability
Headaches
Anxiety
Indecisiveness
Stress is the result of an imbalance between demands and coping strategies. When the demands placed on us are greater than our ability to cope with them, we experience stress.
The key to handling stress is to regain balance by increasing our coping strategies to deal with the demands. When we look at coping, we want to be doing things that are both external and internal. It is essential to develop a strong social system, break up your routine, take care of your body, and ask for help when needed.

Student Refugee Program
Each term, $2.50 of your student fees goes towards supporting SAMU’s Student Refugee Program (SRP). Working with World University Service of Canada (WUSC), SRP funds the tuition and housing of a refugee student for four years. With the help of a local committee group made up of students and staff, SAMU ensures all the sponsored student’s needs are met throughout their time at MacEwan.
