What is the purpose of Alumni Groups?
The purpose of Exploritas Alumni Groups is provide Exploritasers with
the opportunity to continue their Exploritas experience in their local
communities after their educational adventure is completed. Exploritas
operates like a large college or university offering 10,000 educational
programs worldwide. Unlike traditional educational institutions, however,
our "students" do not come to our "campus" but rather take classes in
more than 100 countries around the globe. Through the establishment of
the Exploritas Alumni Association, we hope to promote continuing friendship
among our program participants and strengthen the relationship between
our constituents and the Exploritas organization.
What do Alumni
Groups do?
Exploritasers gather in local Alumni Groups in their communities
to share Exploritas experiences. At their meetings, groups may choose
to have a member of the group speak about a recent Exploritas program
experience. They may invite a member of Exploritas staff or an
Exploritas program provider to make a presentation or they may schedule
a local expert to give a lecture on a topic of shared interest. |

How many programs do I have to attend to be in
an Exploritas Alumni Member?
Exploritas alumni are individuals who have been on at least one Exploritas
program.
Do Exploritas staff or participants run the
Alumni Groups?
Exploritas, just like you, volunteer as Alumni Coordinators to plan
meetings and events with the help of Exploritas staff. Exploritas staff
provide direction and support to the Alumni Coordinators and their groups
including notifying Exploritas in the area about upcoming meetings,
identifying guest lecturers and providing Exploritas informational material.
How do I know if there is an Alumni Group in
my area?
Look on the Alumni page under Find
an Alumni Group or contact
us. Currently, we have groups located in 23 states.
If there is not an Alumni Group in my area, what
can I do?
You can add your name to our list, by filling out the Join an Alumni Group
form, so that we can notify you in the future if a group forms in your
area. Or you may start a group in your area by Volunteering as an Alumni
Coordinator, visit that link to learn more about starting an Alumni Group.
Can I bring someone to an Alumni function that
has not been on an Exploritas program?
Yes! Alumni Groups welcome both veteran Exploritas and newcomers.
We encourage alumni to bring friends so they may learn about Exploritas
educational adventures.
