Volunteer Opportunities

Become a 1L Alumni Guide – Virtual
J.D. alumni! Please consider becoming an Alumni Guide. These volunteers connect with an incoming 1L student in August to welcome them to the Berkeley Law community and answer any questions they may have as they start law school. Alumni check in with their students in early October to hear about their first six weeks at Berkeley Law and have a final check-in in January, as the students start their second semester. Meetings are held via Zoom or phone and the total time commitment is 30 minutes per meeting. The deadline to register is July 23!
