The Yale Club of Washington, DC invites every member of our Yale DMV community to join us in our goal to help local alumni, students, spouses/partners, and parents find jobs.

Here’s a short video showing how. - Post about YOU! If you’re looking for new opportunities, feel free to post your resume, LinkedIn profile, or just a note about your professional goals. Or if you are just looking to network and connect with other Yalies in your field, you can share that too!
Here is a short video showing how to post a document like a resume. - Connect DMV Yalies! Follow our LinkedIn group, and when you see a job seeker or someone hiring, if you know someone who might be able to help them, reach out and introduce them! Or share other relevant resources you are aware of.
- Organize your own small Yale DMV professional mixer in your field! If you volunteer to plan the event and find a space to host, we will promote the event to our entire database and may be able to financially support with a small stipend. Reach out to [email protected] with your ideas!
Again, our aim for all of this is to provide a professionally-focused, supportive Yale DMV forum that helps our community members find jobs. We also have a web page that lists out many other online career resources available to our Yale DM community:

Please consider donating to the Yale Club of Washington, D.C.’s annual Community Service Fellowship fundraiser!

Your contribution will directly impact the amazing work these organizations do in our community, while helping Yalies build their skillsets. All donations are tax deductible and will go towards stipends for the Yale student interns. Help us reach our $15,000 goal!

FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT OF MEMBERSHIP
Dear fellow alumni,
For nearly 150 years, members of the Yale Club of Washington, D.C. have served as the backbone of the Yale alumni community throughout the DMV. Through this tradition of member support, the Club brings local Yale alumni together to connect, learn, socialize, and serve the communities in which we live. We currently have 681 contributing Club members whose support allows the Club to serve the approximately 14,000 Yale degree holders, parents, and widows in the greater Washington area. The Yale Club of Washington, D.C. is among the most vibrant of all Yale clubs across the country. It is thanks to the financial support of our membership that we are able to do so much.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, Club membership has started to decline, understandable, in light of its effect on people’s professional lives and livelihoods. If you would like to be or remain a Club member, but are unable to do so due to financial hardship, please let me know.
For those of you who are able, we invite you to become a member, if you are not one already. And for those of you who are members, we urge you to renew your membership, when the time comes. Being a member directly supports Club operations and activities. Our Club is more than just a social club. Our community service options, under the leadership of Maria Whelan, are particularly robust. We work closely with the Capital Area Food Bank and sponsor multiple community service fellowships a year. In addition, we offer educational programming focused on matters of urgent public interest, as well as a variety of topics that feature the diversity and achievement of Yale alumni.
In times like these, it is important to remain connected. We welcome DMV Alumni from Yale College and ALL Yale graduate and professional schools as part of our community! Please do not hesitate to contact the Club with your thoughts and suggestions, which will be most welcome. Stay well and healthy.

FROM THE YALE CLUB OF WASHINGTON, DC PRESIDENTWelcome to a New Year with the Yale DMV Community! Dear Yale Fellow members of the Yale Community: As we embark on a new club year, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all members of the Yale community in the DMV area. It is a pleasure to have you with us, and I am excited about what we can achieve together in the coming months. This year promises to be both challenging and exciting. Given the recent governmental actions that are impacting the futures of many of our students and alumni, it is essential that our club step up to provide support where we can. To this end we aim to extend and enhance our career support programs, ideally in collaboration with our sister institutions in the higher education community. This initiative will be central to our efforts to assist those navigating these turbulent times. In addition to our career-focused initiatives, we will continue to carry out our diverse program offerings. We plan to provide alumni and professors with a platform to explore their work, as well as for us all to experience the rich tapestry of athletic, theater, embassy, and other cultural opportunities available in our vibrant area. We are also committed to organizing social events—such as happy hours, mixers, and other gatherings—that welcome alumni of all ages, with a particular focus on engaging our recent graduates. These occasions will not only foster connections but also strengthen our community ties. These ties will also be enhanced by our community service efforts. Family-oriented programs will remain a priority as well. We have an exciting summer picnic planned, along with our traditional trip to Gettysburg next summer as well as a potential excursion to Mt. Vernon. Events like these provide wonderful opportunities for families to come together, enjoy each other's company, and celebrate our shared Yale heritage. To sustain these programs and ensure priority access and reduced pricing for these events, we encourage all members of our community to consider supporting membership in the club. Your involvement is vital as we navigate these challenging times together, creating a welcoming environment for all and demonstrating our commitment to Yale. The Yale Club Board of Directors and I look forward to meeting you at upcoming events throughout the year. Together, let’s make this a memorable and impactful year for our community. Warm regards,
|
