Education for all - Make a difference in all sorts of ways
How you can help
Whether you are alumni or a friend, you can contribute to the ACS family in many different ways.
There are a number of ways ACS Alumni and Friends can reconnect with and support their school, from tapping into the powerful alumni network, generously donating your time and expertise to help current students and fellow graduates, to making gifts which can transform lives. We are grateful for the support of each and every one of you.
Volunteering your time
ACS Alumni as University Hosts
While all universities have host programmes for the new incoming undergraduates that play a vital role in welcoming students, we at ACS will be establishing university groups on our new ACS Global Connect Platform with a view to offering future access for graduating students to make contact with a fellow ACS alumni already attending their universities of choice. If you are interested in offering your time in this way please contact us at acsalumni@acs-schools.com.
Career Days
We invite alumni and friends to share their work and life experiences with current students through presentations and discussions at school career events. When students hear from people closely associated with the school it often has the most impact and can be incredibly motivating for them. The next Career Days across all our UK campuses are taking place in February and March 2019. We would be delighted to hear from you, you can let us know here.
Career Mentoring
We will be developing opportunities to Alumni to support students' career development by becoming a mentor and / or offering work placements. We have had a lot of interest in this and hope to enrich this area very soon where a person who has had professional and life experience can be used to help ACS graduates learn and develop as they move forward in their own lives. I would love to volunteer.
Speaker Programme
If you would like to join us as a guest speaker at one of our prestigious events, to talk about your experiences at ACS and how it has influenced your life we would be delighted to welcome you. Events include High School Graduation ceremonies, International Recruitment Fairs and alumni events and opening events. I would be interested in speaking at one of your events.
Alumni Chapters
If you are interested in starting or joining an international Alumni Chapter, please go to the Alumni Chapter page. If you would like to contact your local Chapter Presidents please see their contact details earlier in this newsletter, or you can contact the Development and Alumni Relations team.
Focus Groups
We would like to set up focus groups to invite ACS Alumni back to their campuses to provide input on, and shape the future activities for alumni here at ACS International Schools as we go forward into our first year as a Charity.
If you are interested in any of these programmes, click here to register your interest in donating your time.
