At the Purdue for Life Foundation, our volunteers play an important role. Whether you’re connecting with Boilermakers, supporting campus events, or sharing your Purdue spirit in the community, your time and dedication make a lasting impact on the university. We want to equip you to be the best volunteer you can be.

Volunteers should read Purdue for Life’s volunteer handbook, a comprehensive resource that outlines expectations, best practices, and helpful information to support your role.

To ensure every volunteer has the tools, knowledge, and confidence to represent Purdue for Life with excellence, all volunteers are required to complete our volunteer orientation and training before participating in any service activities. This orientation provides an overview of our mission, values, and programs, along with important guidelines for communication, event conduct, and safety.
