Volunteer Opportunities
There are many ways to stay connected to Purdue Agriculture and the Purdue Ag Alumni Association after your time on campus has ended. There are ways to get involved, both formally and informally, with some opportunities that only last a few hours, and some commitments lasting up to three years. You can serve no matter where you live since many of our programs offer a virtual component. Please provide us with your information, in this brief form, so you can be considered when opportunities become available.
*Note - Board and trust fund positions are limited, and vacancies are filled based on different academic departments. Please provide us with your information, so you can be considered when your department position becomes available.
PIONEER VILLAGE VOLUNTEERS
Are you interested in demonstrating your pioneer craft or skill? Curious about the pioneer arts and want to learn how to do something you saw at Pioneer Village? We are always looking for new volunteers and helpers of any age at the Pioneer Village. Contact us at agalumni@purdue.edu and we will connect you with someone who can help.
Purdue Ties
Purdue Ties is a mentoring platform where you can register to sign up to mentor, or be mentored!
