Alumni Association Committee

The charter of the Alumni Association Committee is to in collaboratively with the Yale School of Management Out Reach Team, check the feasibility of establishing an Alumni Assimilation.  It is thought an alumni association would benefit both the Farnam Neighborhood House and its “alumnus” .The goal of this Association will be to 1. Provide additional funds to Farnam Neighborhood House; 2. provide the opportunity for Farnam activity participants, staff, board, and parents to belong to a favorable group and have the opportunity to volunteer; 3. to provide a mentoring program; and 4. to assist in opportunities for people to reminisce.
