The Early Academic Outreach Programs (EAOPrograms) needs you! It gives me great pleasure to introduce and invite UCLA students, student groups, and UCLA Alumni to participate in the "Bruin Buddy Volunteer Program." This program is designed specifically for the UCLA community who desires to do college outreach to middle school and high school students from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds.

With selection being very competitive, now more than ever, we need to make sure that students from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds are fully prepared, eligible and academically competitive to attend the UC system. As a Bruin Buddy Volunteer, you can assist the Early Academic Outreach Programs staff as they inform, motivate and help prepare EAOPrograms scholars become academically competitive for admission to UCLA. You may choose to volunteer in five different areas:

	Tutoring (Attendance at training workshop required)
	Mentoring/Academic Advising (Attendance at training workshop required)
	Saturday Academy (UCLA campus event)
	College Fair Assistance (Attendance at training workshop required)
	Campus Tour (Attendance at training workshop required)

There is no long or short-term commitment required to be a part of this volunteer program. Services will be scheduled based on the availability of the volunteer and EAOPrograms staff. If you are interested or know of someone from UCLA who would be interested in being a Bruin Buddy Volunteer for EAOPrograms, please have them complete the Volunteer Data Form.

I hope you can join the UCLA Early Academic Outreach Programs as a Bruin Buddy Volunteer!!!
