Why Volunteer?

Alumni volunteers make a real difference by donating their time and expertise. Whether you have just an hour a month, or are looking for a longer-term commitment, we invite you to join the KAUST Alumni Volunteer Network (KAVN).

Volunteering is a great way for alumni to give back, and make a lasting impact. Our network of volunteers are global ambassadors, contributing time and expertise to opportunities benefiting current and future students, fellow alumni and the  KAUST community. Through the KAVN, you’ll stay connected, enhance your skills including public speaking, and strengthen your personal and professional networks.

 

Global and Virtual Volunteer Opportunities 

Speak on a virtual or in-person alumni career panel

Your experience counts! Inspire current and future students by speaking about your KAUST experience and/or your career. Opportunities to  speak on panels come up throughout the year, and we regularly  invite alumni from our KAVN to present on their own or alongside other alumni. We are currently seeking expressions of interest for future panels including the Things I Wish I’d Known panel at Orientation in August 2022. Interested? Register today

Support or lead an Alumni Chapter or Regional Alumni Network

Support, establish or lead one of our alumni chapters in Saudi Arabia or internationally. Are you in a region with less than 10 alumni and still  want to represent KAUST? Then establish a Regional Alumni Network and be the KAUST alumni ambassador in that city or country. We are currently recruiting volunteers. For more information, contact us

Support Alumni Affairs as an Events Coordinator

Alumni Affairs regularly hosts events at KAUST or throughout the Kingdom, and we need help from enthusiastic alumni and students to register guests arriving at events, answering  questions, welcoming VIPs or handing out gifts. If you’re interested in developing your PR skills, and working alongside the Alumni Affairs team at events including the annual Commencement Rehearsals, register today.
