Stanford Emeriti/ae Volunteer Resource Pool
Emeriti/ae faculty and staff bring invaluable experience that continues to benefit the Stanford community and beyond. In partnership with various Stanford offices, the Emeriti/ae Council helps connect interested emeriti/ae with volunteer opportunities across campus and in the broader community.
Stanford often receives requests for members of its community to speak at public events, serve on local nonprofit boards, or engage with campus visitors interested in specific topics. There are also opportunities to support students and student organizations in their service work through the Haas Center for Public Service.
If you are potentially interested in participating in this kind of volunteer activity, please complete the form below. Completing the form does not obligate you, it simply adds you to a list of individuals who may be contacted when opportunities that align with your interests and expertise arise.
