National KIPP Alumni Network

I want to be a part of designing a network that will be inclusive, diverse, and will make alumni proud to be a part of KIPP. The mission that KIPP shares is too important to stop once a student graduates.

To me, success in an alumni community can be defined as a culture of mentorship and information exchange, interdependence especially during challenging moments, and a forum to engage and collaborate with one another. I attribute my success to the aforementioned supports I have had in different areas and networks of my life, and I want to help create this kind of alumni network for KIPPsters.

My goal is to bring more & more of our KIPP family closer together, so that we’re all aiming towards the same end goal.

KIPP alumni come from diverse walks of life, creating a rich diversity in our goals and professional paths. As a KIPP Alumni Network Design Fellow, I want to be a voice for the students who do not feel adequately supported on the collegiate level while also being an advocate for those who choose a nontraditional path. I want to honor the diversity that exists within our community, employ ways of including such diversity, and create opportunities for leadership and action.

I understand how necessary it is for us as KIPP alumni from across the country to develop a network that will be able to support the current alumni, the ever growing alumni each year, for years to come. I want to collaborate with my KIPP cousins to create a network that will allow alumni to stay connected to each other as we strive towards our goals in life, and continue to empower ourselves and our communities.

What I hope to get out of this project is the network, the experience working with other KIPP Alumni, and being able to see the ups and downs​ throughout the whole process.

I am committed to being a voice for the alumni in the KIPP Metro Atlanta Region. I hope to amplify the voices of my fellow alumni by promoting the inclusion of all alumniand maximizing the accessibility of the resources offered.

I would like to assist in building a network of KIPP alum who are entrepreneurs or those that may want to explore different fields that aren't offered by KIPP...Most of all, I want to focus on bringing together those that weren't initially in KIPP's focus.

KIPP New Jersey

I want to be a liaison for other alumni in my region in order to guarantee that the alumni network being created encompasses diverse experiences. Through this project, I hope to meet alumni with varying life experiences and I want to ensure the alumni network will be beneficial and will provide resources for everyone.

I really enjoyed the KIPP Alumni summit in Texas, I was a bit hesitant at first of going. The reason for this was that I never graduated college, so I was a bit scared of how I would be judged. I thought people might not consider me the typical KIPPster, but I was wrong. I got lots of love from the KIPP staff who told me to come back to KIPP and start taking advantage of all the great opportunities the alumni network has.

After attending the first alumni summit, I returned home excited for the National KIPP Alumni Network to be launched because I wanted to network with more KIPP alumni. I feel like I am apart of the KIPP movement and I would be honored to be behind the making of the national network. I hope to access and utilize the network after it is finished. Being apart of this design team will also bring me self-satisfaction because I know this network will be beneficial for other "KIPPsters" like myself.
