Upcoming Volunteer Opportunities
Date: Apply by Wednesday, September 30
The Forever Buffs Network Mentorship Program is an opportunity for CU Boulder alumni and students to foster meaningful relationships that support mentees in their future careers and life beyond CU. The program includes both alumni-to-alumni and alumni-to-student mentorship, enabling alumni to share their professional expertise, experiences and perspectives with current students and young alumni. CU faculty, staff, friends and family are also encouraged to serve as mentors. The only requirement is that participants register in the Forever Buffs Network.
Mentors and mentees that complete all the milestones in the program will be eligible for an official Credly Certificate and completion badge. Credly badges are offered in partnership with the Office of the Registrar. Learn more about CU Boulder-issued Credly badges and micro-credentials, click here.
Date: Wednesday, September 30

Attendees will spend their afternoon relaxing in the backyard of the Koenig Alumni Center while sampling some of Colorado’s finest brews crafted by CU Boulder alumni! Volunteers can volunteer for set-up shifts, where they will help set up inflatables, signage and other decor. Event volunteers will assist brewers and staff, help with check-in and monitor tastings and lines. Teardown volunteers will assist with breaking down the event after it is over. All volunteers will have access to enjoy the Buffs on Tap event for free when they are not working during their shift.

Round out Homecoming weekend with a free tailgate! Many Buff fans will return to Boulder to celebrate, and we will all gather before the game in one place! Festivities include music, photo ops, giveaways and more. Volunteers will assist with setting up the tailgate space, working the event by greeting guests and giving away swag or helping to tear down the space after the event is over.
