Get Involved
Volunteer!
We are always happy to welcome additional Grinnell regional volunteers, both in areas with a regional network committee and beyond!
Alumni interested in serving as volunteers in their regional network can choose from multiple roles—Regional Network Coordinators, Regional Network Planning Committee members, and Regional Network Event Hosts. All regional network volunteer opportunities are important and necessary to building a strong Grinnell community in that area.
Regional Network Coordinators
Regional Network Coordinators arrange Regional Network Planning Committee meetings, help facilitate upcoming regional events, and lead engagement strategies for their area.
Regional Planning Committees
Regional Planning Committees are groups of alumni volunteers who work together and with the Office of Development and Alumni Relations to foster the local Grinnell community in their Regional Network. These alumni volunteers organize a variety of programs, including social, cultural, and educational events, community service projects, and networking opportunities.
Regional Event Hosts
Regional Network Event Hosts lead an event for the Grinnell community in their area. Event hosts can lead one event or many and do not have to be a part of a planning committee. If you would like to host an event in your area, please complete this event form or contact Monique.
To volunteer, contact either the regional coordinator in your area or Monique Armbrister, associate director of alumni and donor relations, at 641-269-4417 or armbristerm@grinnell.edu.
Attend a Regional Event
Regional events happen throughout the year. Visit the Alumni Events Calendar page to see what’s happening in your area! Make sure that your mailing and email addresses are up to date in the alumni directory so that you will receive information (and invitations) for your area!
If you are interested in fostering your local Grinnell community, but do not live in one of these regions, the Office of Development and Alumni Relations may be able to support your efforts. Contact Monique Armbrister, associate director of alumni and donor relations, at 641-269-4417 or armbristerm@grinnell.edu.
