Become an alumni volunteer

Welcome! If you’re here, that means you love IU as much as we do. We want to help you find a place where you can make a difference. Volunteering for Indiana University and the IUAA opens the door to a world of possibilities, and we’re excited to get to know you!

Who do alumni volunteers directly support?

The IUAA and its volunteers support nearly 790,000 alumni across the globe. We rely on alumni volunteers to engage with alumni either as individual volunteers or in our affinity, affiliate, academic/campus-based, and geographic-based communities.

These groups share a common bond of self-identity or experience. For example, the IUAA supports the Asian Pacific Islander Alumni Association, as well as the IU Auditorium Alumni Association—a community of alums who worked at the auditorium as students.

Academic/campus-based communities organize around the academic school or regional campus through which they earned their degree. For example, The Media School Alumni Association, the IU School of Science at IU Indianapolis, or the IU South Bend Alumni Association.

Referred to as “chapters,” these volunteer-led communities are defined by where alumni live. The IUAA supports local chapters all over the world.
