The Oberlin Alumni Fund » Young Alumni Giving
Graduate school. Internships. Travel. A wedding. Volunteer work. Kids. Life after Oberlin can be ... busy. And the further you are from that undergraduate experience, the easier it is to forget how much of an impact Oberlin has had on your life. But you ARE Oberlin. And now you're taking your Oberlin experience into your community, to change the world — one person at a time.
"You are forever tied to Oberlin. That’s why Oberlin is relevant to you, even now." Rhea Yalbon Kennedy '02
Today's students need your support to become tomorrow's doctors, teachers, activists, and community leaders. But without your support, many students could not afford an Oberlin education. Young alumni support is essential for Oberlin to be able to offer a uniquely excellent education to all current and future Obies — and to help them develop into tomorrow's leaders.

You can become a leader in young alumni giving today!
Three years ago, giving levels were established for Oberlin’s youngest alumni to become members of the John Frederick Oberlin Giving Society. Now, alumni who graduated in 2007 – 2011 can become members of the JFO society by making a gift of $250, while alumni who graduated in 2002 – 2006 can become JFO donors by making a gift of $500.
