Volunteer Opportunities
Alpha Phi Omega is a National Service Fraternity governed by
college students with the assistance and support of dedicated
Alumni Volunteers. Alumni Volunteers provide service on a Chapter,
Sectional, Regional, or National level. Alumni Volunteers are
elected by the Active Chapters, or are appointed to positions by
elected volunteers. All volunteers are expected to coordinate their
work through the appropriate electing or appointing body.
The Fraternity actively encourages all Alumni Brothers to become
volunteers, particularly those Alumni who have special skills and
interest in areas that benefit the Fraternity as a whole. Pledges
and Active Brothers should have opportunities to learn about the
importance of proper Alumni roles in the activities of the
Fraternity. To maximize the value of new member education programs,
direct and appropriate contact with Alumni Brothers is
encouraged.
As a leadership development organization, Alpha Phi Omega
volunteers have a responsibility to identify to recruit, and to
train others with the goal of developing a strong, dynamic, and
expanding alumni leadership base. It is vital that all volunteers
receive appropriate training to maximize the benefit to the
Fraternity.
Every Alumni Brother can support the growth of Alpha Phi Omega.
Should personal constraints prohibit direct involvement, Alumni can
assist the Fraternity in a variety of ways, including but not
limited to: encouraging students to pledge, using their leadership
skills to assist other volunteer organizations, and providing
financial gifts to the Fraternity.
Alpha Phi Omega is a lifetime commitment. We are told this when
we pledge. Eventually, college experiences come to an end. We
resolve to keep in contact with people we were once close to in
APO. Sometimes that is easier said than done.
If you are an Alumni volunteer or would like to become an Alumni
volunteer, please attend the
National
Volunteer Conference (held every other year starting in 2009),
in Independence, Missouri. To register,
