Missions proposed by EDHEC Alumni:

Strengthen the dynamics of your community and boost your professional network

Here you will find ways to become an EDHEC Alumni ambassador for one of the clubs in our network. This could be a local, international, professional or leisure club.

What’s an ambassador? 

An ambassador is an active volunteer within the EDHEC Alumni network. Their role is to establish links between alumni and strengthen their sense of belonging to this community. To do this, they organise events and create content for sharing. 

Ambassadors work in clubs to bring alumni together. This approach favours collaborative ideas and networks as well as the continuity of the initiatives already in place. Through these clubs, they can address a community with a specific shared interest (geographic, professional, leisure activity or EDHEC graduation year).

Taking up this role is one of the strongest commitments you can make to our association. Ambassadors serve as a bridge between the community of alumni, the EDHEC Alumni association and EDHEC Business School. As a driving force that unites the community, and by sharing their ideas and expertise, they reinforce the value that the association has to offer and the mutual trust between EDHEC Alumni network members.
 

Missions proposed by Passerelles et Compétences:

Become a volunteer trustee for a solidarity-based association

France has no fewer than 200,000 solidarity-based associations and around 2 million trustees who serve on their boards. This means there are many opportunities to take up a position as a trustee in such an association.

The board of trustees must generate new ideas, sketch out the association’s path going forward, define its ambitions, validate its strategy and play a supervisory role for the smooth running of the association. Each trustee is like a piece in a puzzle: they must find their place and fit into the overall image to complement and enrich it in service of the association’s cause. These associations need you! 

To give you a better idea of what this entails, watch this testimonial by Marie-Christine Ferrandon, who volunteers with Lecture Jeunesse.

How to get involved?

The first step is to become a member of the EDHEC Alumni Volunteering club so you can receive a selection of available mandates by email. 

Then, if one of these missions interests you, we invite you to get in touch with Passerelles et Compétences for an initial interview. The aim of this is to point you in the right direction so you can find the role that suits you best.

The mission of Passerelles et Compétences is to accompany volunteers to get the most out of their skillsets and enrich their social links by trying to match them with volunteering opportunities in associations. The sectors concerned include the environment, occupational integration, sport, social work, education and humanitarian intervention. 

Through our partnership with EDHEC Alumni, missions are selected with the aim of having a strategic impact on the future of each association concerned. The chosen volunteer is expected to display critical thinking that is both constructive and benevolent, as well as the capacity to take a step back and work collectively.
