Pay It Forward

Alumni Volunteer Opportunities

COOP alumni are an essential part of our community. By volunteering, you can help the next generation of fellows build confidence, expand their networks, and launch meaningful careers.

You don’t need a lot of time to make an impact, even a single conversation can change someone’s career path.

Why pay it forward?

Many alumni volunteer because it helps them:

  • Stay connected to the COOP community

  • Give back to the program that supported them

  • Build mentorship and leadership skills

  • Expand their professional network.

Most volunteer opportunities require only 1–2 hours of your time. If you're interested in volunteering, complete the Volunteer Interest Form, and we will follow up with opportunities that match your interests and availability. Volunteer opportunities include:

  • Speaking on panels about your work experience

  • Reviewing resumes, cover letters, or other materials to provide feedback

  • Helping fellows practice interviews and professional speaking

  • Providing feedback, based on your industry expertise, on COOP content and curriculum

  • Introduce COOP to potential employers and share job opportunities

  • Support fundraising or awareness efforts

  • Sharing your COOP story
