Parents

Spring Call

This volunteer program provides an opportunity for experienced parents of students who were accepted early decision to Wesleyan to reach out to parents of new students accepted early decision. Experienced parents provide a warm welcome and establish a connection to the Wesleyan community.

  • Experience: must be a veteran parent of a Wesleyan student accepted early decision
  • Expertise: none; just a willingness to chat with new parents about whatever topics come up
  • Commitment: 1-2 hours, depending upon the depth of your conversations
  • Goal: to contact every new Wesleyan family
  • Timeframe: March-May

How it works:

  • Sign up by March 4 to volunteer.
  • Assignments are made, based on geographic proximity when possible.
  • You receive a resource cheat sheet and contact information on 3-5 households, and make the outreach.
  • You return your contact sheet, with any appropriate comments.
  • Lots of new parents feel welcome!
