Parent Volunteers

Parents of Lafayette students are part of the Lafayette Family.  The college values input from parents and offers several opportunities for you to volunteer your time and expertise.  If you would like to serve on a committee or serve as a volunteer and did not indicate your interest on the Parent Volunteer Form that was mailed to you in June, please contact the appropriate office below.

Parent Ambassadors - work in a variety of ways with the Career Services Office.  Parents can offer internships and externships at their place of work, review résumés, participate in panels, or encourage their business to send recruiters to campus.  Career Services Office: 610-330-5115.
