How to Get Involved

An SLC familyParents Association

The Sarah Lawrence Parents Association offers families of students an added way to participate in the life of the College. The Association’s purpose is to establish closer relationships between the College and SLC parents, provide information about SLC and the services it offers to students, and encourage parents to support SLC financially through the Fund for Sarah Lawrence’s Parent Fund.

Every family is a member of the Parents Association, so we invite you to get involved! Volunteer opportunities are available for parents who wish to take a more active role in the Parents Association.

The Parents Fund (Giving to Sarah Lawrence)

The Parents Fund, part of the Fund for Sarah Lawrence, supports every aspect of the College. Gifts from parents go to work immediately for curriculum development and faculty salaries, student financial aid and investments in technology and library needs, and other endeavors—mundane and extraordinary—that make a daily and lasting difference in each student’s education and promising future. Parents can volunteer to make calls, send email or write letters in support of the Fund. For more information, contact Elise Schramm via email or by calling (914) 395-2536.

Admission

Parent volunteers help the Admission Office by calling parents of admitted students, hosting receptions for prospective or admitted students and their families, and hosting send-off receptions in August for incoming first-year students. For more information, contact Elise Schramm via email or by calling (914) 395-2536.

Career Counseling

Parent volunteers provide assistance to the Career Counseling office by joining the Office of Career Counseling Network and offering internships in the New York area and around the country. For more information, contact Elise Schramm via email or by calling (914) 395-2536.
