No matter where life has taken you, your connection to ANU can continue to grow and make a difference. As part of our dynamic global alumni and friends community, you’re invited to stay engaged, give back, and help shape a brighter future – locally and globally.
Become a Global Alumni Volunteer
The Global Alumni Volunteer Program is your flexible pathway to connect, lead, and contribute to ANU. It’s one global framework that welcomes all alumni, whether you want to host a meet-up, mentor students, or champion ANU in your local community.
When multiple volunteers in the same area or with shared interests begin working together, they can establish an Alumni Network with ANU’s support. These Networks are simply groups of Global Alumni Volunteers who collaborate more formally to organise activities and strengthen connections in their region.
Why get involved?
The ANU Global Alumni Volunteer Program offers alumni a unique opportunity to reconnect with each other and the University. By being involved, you can enable lifelong engagement through strengthening the ANU alumni community across borders, and showcasing the values of leadership and service that define the ANU community. Alumni can participate by organising meet ups, mentoring students, and contributing expertise to help build a more compassionate, globally connected future.
