Volunteering

Become a volunteer today! While AutMus is a great place to let loose and hang out with friends, the Alumni Association’s mission is to raise money for TAMIU Student Scholarships and to give back. Over 200 alumni, students, staff and supporters help this event annually. Without individual help like yours, we wouldn’t have made it to our 6th year. So thank you for giving to your community!

Volunteers must be 18 years or older and will receive no monetary compensation for their services.

Volunteer Frequently Asked Questions
