Do you like to stay connected to your classmates? Did HBS impact your life and now you’d like to give back with your time? Do you want to interact with current students? Then, become a volunteer. Alumni support HBS and the global alumni community by serving in a wide range of important roles, from reunion planning and fundraising to writing Class Notes.
As a member of our valued team of alumni volunteers, you will be well supported by the professional staff at HBS. They will ensure that your time is spent wisely, your talents are put to the best use, and your experience is meaningful and rewarding.
Lead a Club
Volunteers play a critical role in the work of alumni clubs. Your expertise and leadership can help connect and serve HBS alumni in your community or your area of interest.
Organize Your Reunion
Reunion volunteers are dedicated to the idea that you and your classmates have the most memorable reunion possible. You can join the effort (and fun!) of organizing your next reunion.
Raise Funds for HBS
If you value the mission of HBS and understand the importance of alumni support for the School's continued excellence and impact, consider serving in one of many fundraising roles, including class or section fundraising roles for reunion and/or annual giving.
Write Your Class Notes
Class Notes are the most popular way alumni get news of their classmates and stay connected. By serving as a class or section secretary, you will gather and share news through a column in the quarterly HBS Alumni Bulletin and on the alumni website.
Serve the Young Alumni Community
Are you a networker and people connector? In communities around the world, Young Alumni volunteers are helping to build stronger lifelong partnerships between HBS alumni and the School, to provide recent grads an outlet for staying connected, and to create ways for younger alumni to engage with each other and with HBS that are substantive and meaningful.
Alumni Career Guide
Alumni Career Guides are alumni who are willing to connect over phone or email with current students to share industry knowledge and career advice.
Share Your Expertise
Alumni possess extraordinary insights, skills, and experience that can greatly enrich the HBS community and provide value to current students and fellow alumni.
