The Sidwell Friends Alumni Network (FAN) is an inclusive community guided by Quaker values whose mission is to enhance and foster connections with fellow alumni, faculty, and current students. Members of our network let our lives speak through friendship, service, and learning opportunities, generating goodwill and support for each other and the School.
The Friends Alumni Network Advisory Board (FAN-AB) carries out the mission of the Alumni Network through its strategic plan. Learn more and connect with FAN-AB members.
We invite you to learn more about the FAN including ways to volunteer, connect, and give back to Sidwell Friends!
