Share Cougar Knowledge to Support Youth Next Steps
Introducing the Alumni Advisory Committee
Cougs 4 Kids invites WSU alumni and community members to ask how to contribute experience, insights and practical support. Alumni advisory work can help connect youth interests with campus and community perspectives. Cougs 4 Kids is a program of Believe in Me, which retains organizational governance and financial oversight. Advisory participation does not confer board authority. Contact us to confirm roles, responsibilities, selection and meeting arrangements.
Our Mission and Governance
Alumni can bring perspective from college, careers and community life to discussions about youth opportunities. Ask about current ways to share ideas, review resources or support program planning. Believe in Me operates Cougs 4 Kids and retains responsibility for governance, finances and program decisions. Advisory input can inform this work; it does not establish an independent volunteer governing board or transfer oversight to volunteers.
Ask about volunteer advisory opportunities and what each role involves. Confirm commitments, responsibilities and onboarding requirements. An inquiry does not give membership or decision-making authority.
What You Can Expect
Prepare to discuss this opportunity with Cougs 4 Kids before making a commitment. Confirm the purpose, responsibilities, meeting format, selection process and support. Advisory input may help with planning, but Believe in Me retains organizational accountability.
Support System
Alumni perspectives can help Cougs 4 Kids understand university, career and community opportunities. Believe in Me retains organizational governance and oversight.
Regular Updates
Ask about current updates, activity record data and reporting. Participation figures describe reach; they do not alone establish changes in youth outcomes.
Ethical Practice
Ask about the responsibilities and boundaries of an advisory position. Volunteer input does not confer authority over donations or finances.
Open Process
Share your perspective and ask how feedback is considered. Decisions and accountability remain with Believe in Me, the charity operating Cougs 4 Kids.
Quality Delivery
Ask about the activities, organizer and support arrangements before taking part. Advisory participation does not certify program safety or quality.
Why Join the Advisory Committee?
Your experience can help young people ask questions about college, careers and community life. Alumni can also offer feedback on resources and planned activities. Ask Cougs 4 Kids about existing ways to contribute and explain the perspective you would bring. Confirm the role, meeting arrangements, time commitment and any selection process before joining. Participation does not guarantee a board seat, access to students or athletes, or a particular volunteer benefit.
Key Responsibilities of Committee Members
Discuss the scope of an advisory role before agreeing to participate. Possible contributions include sharing experience, reviewing resource ideas and listening to youth perspectives. Confirm needs, expectations, and the team coordinating the work. Advisory participation supports input and planning rather than legal or financial oversight.

Build connections: Ask about ways to introduce contacts without promising partnerships. Clarify roles: Confirm responsibilities, meeting arrangements and any onboarding before accepting tasks.
