No time right now?

Consider a gift – even a small one – whether or not you can volunteer for Oberlin right now. The donation form also allows for recurring gifts if you'd like to spread a donation out over several months.

We Don't Stand Alone: Keep Connected

Whether or not you choose to volunteer, we hope you’ll register with Oberlin’s online community so you can stay in touch with friends and alumni in your area. You can also keep up with what’s happening on campus with the weekly newsletter from Oberlin Online or The Oberlin Review.

Class Agents
Class agents encourage giving to The Oberlin Fund through personal contacts with their classmates. Agents are also invited to attend Alumni Council Weekend each September, an opportunity to catch up with new developments on campus and with Oberlin's fundraising initiatives. Interested in joining, or want more information? Contact The Oberlin Fund at 800-693-3167 or oberlin.fund@oberlin.edu

Admissions Recruiting Network
Alums in the ARN interview students in their area, participate in (and help coordinate) the major January interview weekends, and attend college fairs at high schools. To join the ARN, just email arn@oberlin.edu

Career Services
Alumni play many crucial roles in students' Winter Term, summer, or post-graduate experience. Consider becoming a career mentor to help others as they work on where their paths are headed. Offer a winter term internship, an internship at another point in the year, or sign up to provide housing for students who already have their internship lined up.

Alumni Council
There's plenty to do on Alumni Council, the umbrella organization of Oberlin alums that includes volunteer coordinators, advisory groups, and more. Want to connect with Obies in your area? Look for the regional group nearest you – or sign up to help as a regional coordinator. Have a particular interest in campus (admissions? career services?)? Read about the various alumni council committees and the process for joining.
