Show your Blue & White pride by volunteering with CCCPSAA
No matter what your interests, skills,or passions are, there's likely a corresponding volunteer opportunity with the Centre County Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association. Those looking for ongoing volunteer opportunities are encouraged to consider joining a chapter committee (see list to the right). Other volunteer needs arise throughout the year as the chapter organizes and participates in events througout the Centre Region. If you are interested in getting involved with CCCPSAA but don't no where to start, simply send an email to volunteer@psucentre.org and we're happy to share some ideas with you.
In addition to special events, the chapter welcomes volunteers for the following annual traditions:
Spend A Summer Day
Each year, CCCPSAA volunteers assist Penn State Admissions with the Spend A Summer Day series. Spend A Summer Day is an opportunity for future Penn Staters and their families to spend a day on the University Park campus and learn about academic programs, student life opportunities, and general information about life in State College. Our volunteers serve in several roles, especially as navigation guides stationed throughout campus.

Homecoming
The Centre County Chapter proudly participates in Penn State's annual Homecoming Parade each fall and competes with other alumni chapters for best parade contributions. Homecoming volunteers develop the chapter's theme and create corrsponding parade decorations. The Homecoming team walks in the parade (tossing out candy, of course!) and ends the night at the Hintz Alumni Center where they attend an exclusive reception with alumni chapters from across the country.
