Volunteer for Your Class Giving Campaign

As a volunteer, you inspire others to give back and help Stanford students benefit from world-class academics and life-changing experiences.

Stanford alums at a reunion event

Think of volunteering as an investment in Stanford’s future. Whether it’s your 5th or 50th reunion year, here are five reasons why you should consider a volunteer role:

1. Lead by example.

Volunteers are vital to the success of class reunion campaigns. As a co-chair or committee member, there’s a place for everyone.

2. Reconnect with classmates.

Whether you’re able to reach out to hundreds of classmates or just a few close friends, you will renew past friendships and create new bonds.

3. Pay it forward.

Perhaps you’re grateful for the different ways that Stanford opened doors, helped you grow, introduced you to lifelong friends or a spouse, or allowed you to find your own path. Volunteering is a meaningful and tangible way to give back.

4. Choose when and how to help.

You can give your time, make a contribution, call your friends, or send letters—there are many ways to make a difference, and lots of flexibility in making your volunteerism fit into your busy schedule.

5. Support Stanford and undergraduate students.

Reunion giving campaigns are the backbone of Stanford’s commitment to provide need-based aid for all qualified students, no matter their background or circumstance. Your classmates can also choose to support university-wide programs and medical research.

Why I volunteer

“Stanford greatly influenced my life. By volunteering, not only do I give back to the university, but I also get to work with amazing people to effect positive change on issues that are important to me.”

Angela Nomellini, ’75

“During my first visit to Stanford, I looked out from Hoover Tower over the infinite red Spanish tile roofs that lined campus and was inspired to think of the infinite possibilities ahead of me. I was fortunate to not only have encouraging parents but also to be where I was thanks to financial aid. I volunteer with Stanford so that the students who make that same visit today, and who see the same potential in themselves, have the ability to make it a reality.”
