FLY THE COLORS

Put a NOLS sticker on your car, laptop, water bottle, or notebook. Display a NOLS flag or wear a hat—and share your story when the questions start. NOLS has over 280,000 grads, so proudly showing our logo helps foster connections.

Volunteer at a Reunion

We organize reunions all over the US—join us! Helping out an event is a great opportunity to eat good food, network with other alums, and listen to inspiring speakers. Find new friends, climbing partners, and maybe even a job.

PAY IT FORWARD

Since NOLS is a nonprofit, scholarships are funded by our annual fund and endowment. Participation is the key: together our alumni community’s small, large, and in-between contributions help open the door for future NOLS students around the world. Can you share $10?
