Lead or co-lead an alumni community

Want to find our who your peers are, get to know them, and strengthen your personal or professional network? Becoming a community coordinator will put you at the center of the action and provide you a way to establish quality connections with other members of our network. 

This type of engagement is what help our network live and grow. Today, there are approximately 80 coordinators around the world dedicated to helping our network flourish. 

We call them the “Alumnizers”!

They are identified by these badges on our site.

If you have some free time and a desire to contribute to a medium-term framework between 18 - 24 months, apply to lead a geographical or professional community. This commitment requires an investment of at least 30 minutes per week and 3-8 evenings per year.
