If you’ve been looking for a way to give back to your alma mater somehow, one of the best strategies for doing so is to become involved as a volunteer. Whether it’s through the school district, extracurricular organizations or our alumni association, there are always all sorts of opportunities for you to get involved and make a difference in the lives of today’s students.

Some people like to contribute specific talents or knowledge they have in or out of the classroom. Others like to work events or help with fundraising. 

Whatever path you choose, it’s certain to be a fulfilling one. Here are just a few of the benefits associated with becoming a volunteer for your alma mater.

• Make a difference in kids’ lives: You’d be amazed at how much of a difference volunteerism can make in the lives of current students. By contributing your knowledge and skills you could truly touch the lives of kids today and provide them with unforgettable experiences that will influence them long into adulthood.

• Get plugged into your school community: If you still live around your alma mater, volunteering can be a great way to get yourself plugged back into the school community. This is especially beneficial if you have children going through the district; you will have a direct line to what’s going on in schools and a greater familiarity with school events, initiatives and staff.

• Have fun: Volunteering is a great way to spend your free time! You can have a lot of fun exploring things you’re interested in or sharing your passions with others.
  
  
• Meet people: Whether it’s other alumni and community volunteers or current staff and students, you will get to meet a lot of people and make connections that could turn into new friendships.
