Notre Dame Young Alumni

04/21/2026

Notre Dame doesn’t end at graduation.

YoungND strives to help young Notre Dame graduates stay connected as they begin life after Notre Dame.

Your gift this Notre Dame Day supports:

YoungND Programming & Events: From the YoungND Faithful global faith celebration to the Notre Dame Leaders Speaker Series, we create opportunities for young alumni to gather, grow, and stay rooted in what Notre Dame stands for.

The Domer Dozen: Each year, we honor 12 young alumni who have shown extraordinary dedication to faith, service, learning, and work. Your support helps us find them, celebrate them, and share their stories.

Club Engagement & Regional Initiatives: Our board works directly with Notre Dame’s 270+ alumni clubs to strengthen young alumni programming wherever our graduates live and work, so no Domer ever feels far from home.

Support us with a gift this ND Day! Link below or in bio.
