Wheaton Fund Volunteer Opportunities
As a Wheaton Fund volunteer, you’ll reconnect with classmates and impact areas that matter to you most—whether it’s funding scholarships and student internships, enhancing living and learning spaces, creating new programs, or supporting your favorite athletics team or student organization. With flexible roles and minimal time commitment, you can choose how and when to contribute. Here are some of the ways to get involved.
As a former Lyon athlete, you’ll actively support athletic fundraising efforts by engaging your networks, sharing personal stories, and advocating for sport-specific needs. By fostering connections between your former teammates as well as current coaches and student-athletes, you’ll help reinforce the Wheaton athletics legacy and convey the unique needs of each program.
This is a great role if you are looking for a small commitment that makes a big impact. As an Annual Giving Ambassador, you’ll help amplify and promote Wheaton’s annual fundraising priorities. In recent years, volunteers have focused their efforts on our Day of Giving campaign, serving as valued partners for the Office of Advancement.
In this role, you’ll provide strategic leadership to volunteers and encourage alumni and parent participation in philanthropy efforts. You’ll also attend quarterly meetings with the college’s leadership and serve as a key partner in our annual giving program.
Every five years, reunion campaign committees are formed to encourage attendance and excitement for your milestone class reunion. As a Reunion Campaign Committee member, you’ll work directly with your class officers and advancement leadership to set specific fundraising, attendance, and programmatic goals.
Alumni Volunteer Opportunities
As a member of the Alumni Association, there are many ways to support Wheaton’s mission. You can connect with fellow graduates through various on-campus, virtual, and regional opportunities that align with your values and schedule. Whether you help plan events, mentor students, or fundraise, your contribution will make a lasting impact on the college community.
