Our Mission

The Yale Club of San Francisco enriches the lives of Yale Alumni by fostering meaningful connections among area alumni, the University, and Bay Area communities. The Yale Club of San Francisco supports a diverse and vibrant Northern California network of Yale alumni and organizations with shared interests to embody the values learned at Yale, thereby furthering the Mission of the University. Through the Club, alumni combine their time, talent and outreach efforts to transform, inspire, and add value to the San Francisco Bay Area.

The Yale Club of San Francisco builds upon the lasting “friendships formed at Yale” among San Francisco Bay Area alumni. The club seeks to help recruit and support future generations of Yalies. The Yale Club of San Francisco embraces all Yale graduates regardless of Yale affiliation, gender and gender identity, economic or social status, generation, profession, religion or sexual orientation. We provide an atmosphere of openness and inclusiveness to allow fellow alumni to share their affection for Yale by volunteering at or attending our events.

We seek to build upon the talents of our individual members to develop a vibrant community that stays connected with Yale and each other. We seek to do so through social and educational programs that embody the spirit of giving and creating public service opportunities for our members in our communities in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Membership is open to all Yale alumni, parents, faculty and friends of the University.  The payment of annual dues entitles members to full access to our website, to advance notice and reduced admission to club events, and to admission to select members-only events.
