Volunteers play a vital role in making this tradition possible - from coordinating with schools and presenting awards at ceremonies, to helping us expand the program's reach across the region. Getting involved is a meaningful way to support education, strengthen Yale's presence in our community, and connect with fellow alumni who share a passion for academic engagement.
