GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

The UCLA Athletics Community Relations program was developed to foster mentoring relationships between the UCLA Athletics family and youth in the surrounding community. By providing underprivileged children with the opportunity to experience a glimpse of college life through selected athletic events, the program aspires to build positive relationships and motivate young people to achieve in school and life. To this end, Bruin coaches, student-athletes and staff members have been busy in the community speaking as UCLA ambassadors and interacting with children through three main outreach programs, I'm Going to College, Athletics For Youth, and Reading Days.
