Who We Are

PLACEHOLDER:

The Stanford Parents’ Club is a worldwide network of Stanford families, with over 9000 members from 47 countries.   

Founded in 1924 as a non-profit and run entirely by member volunteers, the Club offers parents and guardians opportunities to learn, connect and have fun as they build community together.  

The Club’s signature programs include: 

  • Online Distinguished Speaker Series

  • Social Activities

  • Interactive Online Communities


The Club also provides scholarships to Stanford students and fosters a culture of volunteerism supporting Stanford and the Stanford family community.  

Membership is free, and all parents, guardians and support persons of current and former Stanford students are welcome and encouraged to join. Learn more and join today

These activities are in concordance with Article III of our Bylaws, which states: "The purposes of this corporation shall be as stated in its Articles of Incorporation and shall include (i) bringing together parents of Stanford University (“Stanford”) students, and others, in social and intellectual exchange and (ii) supporting Stanford and its students through volunteer activities and donations to the ...Club Scholarship Fund."

Dear Stanford Parents and Guardians,

 

Welcome to the Stanford Parents’ Club and the 2023-2024 school year at Stanford University.  For those with students in the class of 2027, welcome to the Stanford family!

 

This is a very special year in our club’s history. It is our CENTENNIAL birthday!  100 years ago a dedicated group of Stanford mothers came together to create this wonderful club.  Today,  Parents’ Club has nearly 10,000 members worldwide and is comprised of Stanford mothers, fathers and guardians from over 50 countries.   We have a deep culture of volunteerism in the club and work in partnership with Stanford University to help support Stanford families. Parents’ Club offers its members opportunities to learn, connect and have fun. Our events and activities are separate from those of the students and take place on and off campus and online.


Join us to indulge your intellectual curiosities, connect with interesting new people and get a taste of the Stanford experience all your own. We also look forward to welcoming new families volunteering alongside experienced families and blending new ideas with favorite Stanford Parents’ Club traditions.

 

We are proud to present our signature programs and services for our centennial year.
