Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer involvement through the Parents Programs strengthens the university and enables current and former parents to play an active role in the life of Johns Hopkins.

Hopkins Parents Council (HPC)
Join with 60+ enthusiastic Hopkins families from across the country and around the globe who provide leadership support for the Hopkins Parents Fund.  HPC members reach out to other Hopkins parents to enlist their support, are advocates in their home communities and meet twice yearly on the Homewood campus with university leaders and administrators. 

Admission Volunteers
Help welcome the parents of newly accepted students and promote JHU by making congratulatory phone calls and answering parent questions.

Orientation Volunteers
Welcome new parents to campus, answer questions at the Parents Programs table during the Parents Reception in August.

Parents Fund Volunteers 
Share your time and enthusiasm about JHU by contacting other Hopkins parents to enlist their support for the Parents Fund.

Host a Reception
University administration and faculty travel the country to meet parents in key cities throughout the year. As the parent of a JHU student, you can help by hosting a reception in your home.

Career Center
You and/or your company can help provide JHU students with internships, summer and full-time employment, and career advice, by working with the Career Center.

Welcome Calls
