Committees

The American School Health Association values member volunteers and their contributions to our committees and initiatives. ASHA encourages engagement from a diverse group of volunteers who represent various roles, settings, student populations, and health issues.

We invite you to volunteer with the American School Health Association (ASHA). ASHA’s member volunteer opportunities bring together a wide range of individuals with expertise in multiple disciplines related to healthy schools, as well as anyone who wants to help ASHA realize our mission to transform all schools into places where every student learns and thrives. ASHA relies on its members to provide volunteer leadership and support for its programs, events, products, and publications. Committee participation is open to ASHA members only. Appointments are effective through December 31, 2022.
