For Alumni
Since 2002, we have welcomed third-level students and recent graduates into our programs, growing into a far-reaching community across Ireland and beyond. We want to stay connected and offer you opportunities to stay in touch, access resources, and celebrate milestones together.
Did you participate in our International Volunteer Programme to Zambia, India, or Kenya, join a Global Issues Course, the Ideas Collective, or the STAND Changemakers Academy?
As Suas and STAND alumni, you are part of a network of changemakers who care about justice, equality, and creating a better world. That’s why we’re inviting you to reconnect with our alumni community—a space to recharge, grow, and take action together.
Our alumni network is a space for you to:
- Reconnect with past participants and global justice issues
- Access professional capacity-building opportunities
- Share experiences, resources, and celebrate milestones
Many alumni tell us about the life changing experience the participation in one of our programmes was, how friendships were formed, and careers and life choices influenced. Many ask us for ways of staying involved and connecting to other alumni. Maybe one of the current opportunities below interests you? We hope so!

Get involved in Mentoring
As part of our programmes, we like to offer mentoring opportunities to our participating third-level students or recent graduates. Mentoring provides alumni with an opportunity to contribute their experience to the personal and career development of a current participant. If you are interested in mentoring one of our participants from the Ideas Collective or the STAND Changemakers Academy, please get in touch with us at [email protected].
Community Newsletter
Join our community newsletter to receive quarterly updates, news, and opportunities for alumni participation.
We need your help to reconnect with our Alumni - we have lost touch with many of you! Do you know someone who participated in a SUAS or STAND program with you? Invite them to join our alumni network by signing up for our newsletter — we promise not to flood their inbox (just four emails a year!). We want to bring as many alumni as possible back together with our alumni events - but we need your help to reach them.
LinkedIn Alumni Group
Want to find old friends and make some new connections? Our Alumni LinkedIn group gives you the opportunity to connect with fellow STAND (and former Suas!) alumni.
