Thank you for visiting the Alumni Volunteer page! As a valued member of our alumni community, your time, talent, and experience are powerful ways to give back to Metro State University. Volunteering is not only a meaningful way to stay connected, but it also enriches the lives of our students, campus community, and fellow alumni.
We invite you to explore the many opportunities available and join us in making a difference. Whether you have just an hour to spare or want to take on a leadership role, there is a place for you here.
Ready to get started? Complete the quick and easy volunteer application form to let us know your interests and availability.
