Alumni Relations

OUR AIMS AND GOALS

As a volunteer-powered disaster relief organization, our volunteers are fundamental to everything we do. The passion and commitment of our community can be a powerful tool for various opportunities, including fundraising and advocacy. However, if we want to tap into those benefits, we need to facilitate an ongoing, meaningful and participatory relationship with our volunteers beyond their time in the field.

Effective engagement strategies, which center around fostering community, expanding humanitarian knowledge and developing leaders, are critical in demonstrating our investment in, and long term support of, our alumni community.

This guide aims to provide an overview of our approach to alumni engagement, the goals our alumni relations department is striving towards and the core engagement strategies which ultimately underpin our success in achieving these goals.

OUR SUCCESSES SO FAR

Based on our previous learnings, throughout FY 2022 we continued to further refine our strategy. We identified key metrics to track and incorporate into our departmental objectives and key results as a means to understand the value of our alumni engagement initiatives. We compiled this data in our Alumni Engagement: FY 2022 in Review report.

This report also consolidated results from our annual Alumni Feedback Survey.
