Volunteer

Volunteer  

If you’d like to give back to SFSU by volunteering your personal time, there are several options available to you. 

Scholarship Evaluator 

Each year, alumni volunteer to review scholarship applications submitted by current SFSU students submit to allocate nearly $100,000 in awards to 50 awardees. Volunteers review applications online without the need to travel to SFSU. Each volunteer is expected to evaluate a minimum of 10 scholarship applications, which typically requires about 2 to 4 hours total. 

You may review and select which scholarship(s) you wish to read to evaluate. We invite all alumni to sign up to evaluate scholarship applications in the next scholarship award cycle. 

Mentor 

Discover mentorship opportunities within the Alumni Association. Engage as a mentor or mentee through various channels, connecting with students who share your career, geographic, or personal matter interests. Consider activities such as bringing a group of prospective students on campus tours, offering guidance through phone calls to incoming students, acting as an ambassador to celebrate their admission decisions, and encouraging your company to be a partner of the CSU Entertainment Alliance. 

Let us know about your interest in becoming a mentor by signing up to volunteer with us via our Volunteer Interest Survey.

Community Service and Advocacy 

Opportunities to serve year-round are available with Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and Friends of the Library. Also, you can help by sharing your donor story to raise funds for a variety of SFSU causes and initiatives with the University. 

Get involved at the state level helping to advocate on behalf of SFSU and the CSU. The CSU has a number of resources for learning more on their Advocacy and State Relations webpage.
