Get Involved
Staying connected to the CBB network is as easy as leaning in and showing up. There's always a circle to be found, sometimes it's even on a Wednesday!
Cohort Ambassadors
Cohort Ambassadors maintain communication and engagement with CBB alumni! Sound fun?
This small but mighty team will maintain up to date contact information for alumni, distribute event information, recruit alumni for CBB for Life event planning committees, encourage alumni participation in events, and will be involved in planning and executing CBB for Life events and programs. Cohort Ambassadors are invited if they are able to volunteer for 4-8 hours per month.

Social Justice Action for Afghanistan
Most of you are aware of the recent military withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan and the swift collapse of the proxy government. At present, a Taliban government, legitimized through U.S.-led “peace” talks, holds power over a country of nearly forty million people. The waging of war in Afghanistan extends beyond twenty years of direct military involvement by the United States. There is a long history of colonial occupations in Afghanistan and ongoing unrest that is fueled by competing interests from surrounding nations and the United States.
You may feel resigned, confused or overwhelmed when hearing about Afghanistan. We ask you not to rest in confusion or inaction. Click for some ways you can support the Afghan and Afghan-American community.
Counselors and Critical Conversations
Critical conversations are the lifeblood of CBB, and those critical conversations that were started fifty years ago still continue today. In 2020, as the pandemic unfolded, Counselors & Critical Conversations was born. A virtual series that addressed the 2020 racial reckoning, the election, and helped healers heal, current students and CBB alumni came together to discuss social-justice, change, and healing.
Check back soon to register for a special Counselors and Critical Conversations focused on the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
Counselors and Connections
An important part of the CBB for Life mission is to help alumni stay connected to one another, program faculty, and current students. In 2019, CBB for Life launched Counselors & Cocktails to connect the CBB community for meaningful conversation and instant connection. A free-flowing social series designed to give the CBB community a chance to reunite and reconnect. There’s something special about socializing with CBBers; skip the small talk and go straight to the good stuff. What’s that Gestalt theory again? The whole of anything is greater than its parts. Sometimes it feels real good to spend time in community. Counselors & Cocktails will resume in 2022, as soon as we are safely able to meet again.
