Alumni & Family Ambassadors

Since its founding in 1963, Pitzer College has relied on alumni and family volunteers to create a connected community and make an impact on the lives of Pitzer students. Please join this proud tradition and share your volunteer interest today.

Volunteer Opportunities

Be a Career Services Ambassador and provide Pitzer students real-world experience and advice to further their career development. Offer job-shadowing or internship opportunities through the Office of Career Services.

Be an Event Ambassador and help plan engagement activities for the Pitzer community. Volunteer regionally or at on-campus events such as Family Orientation or Family Weekend. Due to the pandemic, all events will be held until further notice.

Be a Social Media Ambassador, or “super user,” to promote Pitzer. Post, like, and share your unique experiences and the latest news about the College.

Be a Fundraising Ambassador and encourage others to invest in the Pitzer experience.

Pitzer’s Institute for Global/Local Action & Study (IGLAS) invites you to become an IGLAS Ambassador. IGLAS prepares Pitzer students to be engaged, socially responsible citizens of the world through a variety of resources, including the College’s FirstGen Program and the Office of Fellowships & Scholarships. As an IGLAS Ambassador, you can offer encouragement to first-generation college students during their Pitzer journey. IGLAS is also looking for volunteers who have received post-graduate awards, such as Fulbright and Watson fellowships, to share their experiences and advice with current students who are applying for one of these prestigious honors.

Be an Admission Ambassador and help conduct interviews with prospective students in your area (alumni only).
