Alumni volunteer their professional skills to fill these needs through short-term, well-defined projects. Gain new professional experience and expand your network while helping the community. Our nonprofit partner organizations have strong Princeton ties and are doing amazing work- providing innovative environmental education, engaging college students to educate prisoners and empowering disadvantaged children.
