Become a volunteer
Giving your time is a great way to share your talents, skills and experience with current students and other alumni. A great way to get involved with the university as a graduate. Moreover, volunteering also contributes to the development of your network, your personal development, your self-confidence and, of course, your resume. Take a look at the current volunteer opportunities below.
Volunteer opportunities
Guide youngsters via our Mentor program
Would you like to share your knowledge, experience and network with students and recent graduates? Do you want to support them make choices, develop skills, discover qualities and take the first steps towards the job market? Become a mentor! Make yourself available by e-mail and share your skills. With your practical experience, you can offer your students career prospects and possibly support them in their search for a job or a network. As soon as students sign up for the program, you will be connected to someone as a mentor. From that point onwards, the two of you can give shape to the contact yourselves (e.g. by e-mail or a telephone conversation)
Answer surveys, sign up for the alumni panel
Students and researchers are always looking for respondents. You can help them as a volunteer of the alumni panel. You will occasionally receive online questionnaires and be asked to participate in research on behalf of the alumni relations office. Students always graduate around a certain time and in that period, as part of the alumni panel, you will occasionally receive an email with the available questionnaires. You then have the choice which questionnaire(s) you want to fill out and when you do so. Being a volunteer through the alumni panel: a small effort, from your own home, with which you help students and researchers out a great deal.
Event organizer abroad
Alumni of Tilburg University unite all over the world. By leaving your details, or by registering as an 'Event organizer' you will be informed by e-mail as soon as there is a meeting in your area. This way we offer you the opportunity to network professionally and socially and to support your company or career.

Darya Krapyva, MSc Information Management (class of 2020)
MenteeThanks to the Mentee Program, within a month after graduation I was connected to experienced alumni with a comparable study background. On an informal basis, I came into contact by e-mail with someone who graduated a couple of years ago, as well as another alumnus who has been in business a bit longer. This really helps me a lot in finding my way to a network: great initiative!
