Principia Volunteer Opportunities
Ways To Volunteer
Get involved with your class

As a volunteer for your Reunion Class Committee you’ll get involved with your class to encourage participation in your upcoming College or Upper School Reunion and help plan special activities during the Reunion weekend. The Reunion Class Committee plays a vital role in the success of each Reunion. The enthusiasm communicated to classmates about getting together and “coming home” to Principia builds an eagerness and interest for alumni who might not consider attending. “The more the merrier” and as a volunteer you’ll find it very rewarding when you have a part in seeing so many of your classmates together again.
