Project Leaders
You know what your community needs. Lead a project by identifying a worthwhile cause and be the catalyst for making a lasting difference in your community. The Beyond the Farm staff at the Stanford Alumni Association will set up your project registration page and spread the word to Stanford alumni in your community.

Stay Rooted
Beyond the Farm is all about growth. Community growth and environmental growth both happen beyond the farm. We recommend beach/park clean-ups, gardening programs, and more!

Technology makes it easy to lend a helping hand even from a distance. Your virtual volunteering might just be what your community needs. Alumni have previously hosted virtual mentoring opportunities.
