Recent studies have shown that more individuals are giving of their time and talent to various organizations throughout the United States and the world. However, the time each person is willing and able to give has decreased significantly. As a volunteer-reliant organization, Alpha Kappa Psi has examined its volunteer structure and made changes in order to grow with current trends in volunteerism.

The Chapter Advisory Board (CAB), is designed to meet theses changes. Through CAB positions, our alumni mentor student leaders by providing area-specific guidance. Time commitment is minimal, as each CAB position requires no more than three hours per month. Best of all, there are opportunities for everyone — whether you are a recent graduate, an established professional or even a retiree.

Here are a few of the CAB positions available at this time. Click on any topic for a complete description.
