Volunteer

Class Delegates are key volunteers that are responsible for serving as a liaison between the Alumni Office and his or her class.  Class Delegates are encouraged to use email, text messages, personal phone calls, and social media to engage with their classmates and keep them connected to Woodward Academy through attendance at events, participation in The Woodward Alumni Fund, and the collection of class updates. For more information about becoming a Class Delegate, email alumni@woodward.edu.

The Alumni Association Board of Directors is the governing body of the Woodward Academy Alumni Association. Members are elected to three-year terms. If you have questions or would like to nominate a thoughtful leader you know, contact the Alumni Office.

Join us for a Student Alumni Ambassador (SAA) lunch and learn as a speaker! Through alumni-led workshops and meetings, students are given insight into the professional world and learn about networking and philanthropy.  We also have assemblies throughout the year for Upper School students to hear from successful alumni in various fields.

The Big Chill is an annual alumni event that supports need-based student financial aid through a live and silent auction. Every year, volunteers form a host committee to plan and organize the event while securing sponsors and auction items.

Mission: 
The Woodward Academy Black Alumni Association highlights excellence among its members and creates a community that works together to empower students and alumni, cultivate lasting connections, strengthen the Woodward community, and provide the space for scholars and professionals to connect and deepen relationships beyond the Academy. 

Vision: 
As the Woodward Academy Black Alumni Association, we strive to provide networking opportunities, social events, and philanthropic support to the school. We connect alumni to current students with shared experiences in order to provide mentorship that will equip them with the necessary skills to navigate through their time at the Academy and beyond graduation. Together we will strengthen the Woodward community through advocacy and mobilization that will foster greater educational opportunities and resources for Black students, school organizations, and faculty.

Want to host an alumni event in your city? The alumni office can provide you with everything you need to put together a regional event near or far!

Class Reunions are celebrated every five years and reunion volunteers are the key to a fun and successful event! Alumni have the best insight into the kind of celebration their classmates would enjoy, and that makes a real difference in the quality of the experience. Whether calling friends to invite them to Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, assisting in the planning of your party, or asking others to pledge their financial support to the school, alumni involvement is what makes it a great occasion for everyone. For more information about becoming a Reunion Volunteer, email alumni@woodward.edu.
