Get Involved

We welcome alums from our entire Northern California region, not just the Bay Area. Our Board meetings are via Zoom, so location truly doesn’t matter! We would love to have representation from throughout our incredibly large region.

At the moment, we are recruiting a Communications Co-Chair as well as Regional Representatives, but if you think you’d be a good fit for a currently filled position, you’re welcome to share the role.

Please peruse the board position descriptions and reach out to us if any roles spark your interest! We’re always looking for fresh perspectives and new ideas, and we look forward to hearing from you.

The Board may create ad hoc committees to address a particular need (e.g., fundraising, marketing); to plan a larger event (e.g., our annual meeting); or to coordinate activities based around a specific interest (e.g., arts & crafts, culture & entertainment, outdoor hikes & outings). You can volunteer to serve on a short-term committee without joining the Board, so this is a good option if you’d like to get more involved but aren’t able to make the necessary time commitment for a board position. Please reach out with your interests and location if you’re interested!

If you already have an event in mind, please fill out our Member Event / Comms Request form. We can help you promote your event, set up registration, and more, as long as you complete the form at least one month in advance of your proposed date. If you have any questions that are not addressed in our FAQ or you would like to discuss your event proposal, please reach out to us. We may be able to help you secure a venue (e.g., by connecting you with an alum who has offered to host events at their home) and to reimburse you for select expenses (e.g., light refreshments).

If you’re interested in volunteering as an event lead but not sure of where to start, check out our list of event ideas. The Board also has some events-in-progress that would benefit from co-leads, so contact us with your general interests and location to see if we have a potential event that would be a good fit. No prior event planning experience is required!

Note: If you’d like to extend a more casual invitation for alums to join you somewhere (e.g., meet up at the farmer’s market, go see a show), you can directly post to our private, alum-only Facebook and LinkedIn groups. You can also tag us (@mhcnorcalclub) in your Instagram post or story, and we’ll repost it to our publicly viewable profile.

If you have access to a space* the Club can use for an event, fill out our Available Meeting Space form, and we’ll reach out if we have an event that might be a good fit! You can edit your response at any time, including to retract your offer. If you know an alum who may be willing to host an event at their home, workplace, or community center, please send them the form link.

We’re particularly interested in locations that can accommodate 10-20 people, are accessible by public transit, and/or are located in San Francisco or the East Bay. Your location does not need to fit all of the aforementioned criteria to be submitted; we are just likelier to utilize spaces that do.

*Your home/backyard, a community area in your condo/apartment complex, a meeting room in your workplace, etc.
