The goals of the YES alumni program are to maintain long-term communication with program alumni and to encourage alumni to organize and/or engage in activities related to community service, community engagement, English language, American culture, development of personal and professional skills, networking, and other areas that address the needs of alumni and their local communities.
The Alumni Coordinator supports these goals as the primary connection between American Councils and the alumni community, including maintaining up-to-date records of alumni data; regularly sharing opportunities with and creating opportunities for alumni; supporting alumni in organizing activities that address the goals of the alumni program; managing an alumni activities budget; and gathering and sharing information on alumni activities and successes. The Alumni Coordinator is supervised by YES Abroad Coordinator, Oliver Atanasovski.
