Alum Program
Youth who attended programs at the high school age or younger are considered “Alums” of OUT MetroWest after high school. The Alum Program offers periodic events, in-person and virtually, to stay connected with your OUT MetroWest community. Alum newsletters feature networking opportunities, OUT MetroWest updates, and ways to get involved with OUT MetroWest. Whether you attended one program or many, we hope you remain part of our community! Sign up for our newsletter here.
