UC Davis Student Recruitment & Retention Center


	Hello Beautiful People, Bayanihan Clinic is looking for volunteers and coordinators for the 2008-2009 school year. The mission of Bayanihan Clinic is to provide culturally and linguistically sensitive primary care to the underserved Filipino population, particularly World War II Veterans and recent immigrants, including the uninsured population in Sacramento. In Bayanihan Clinic we realize that the issues of one community are as much different as they are the same from other communities. In order to be a volunteer or a coordinator you do not have to be Filipino. Moreover, we invite people from all majors and future endeavors. There will be an informational meeting Tuesday, February 19th, at 6pm, in 206 Olson. For any questions please email: bayanihanclinic@gmail.com Coordinator Application Volunteer Application * ATTENTION ALL APPLICANTS. THERE IS A TYPO IN THE COORDINATOR APPLICATION. A LETTER OF RECOMMENDATION IS NOT REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR A VOLUNTEER OR COORDINATOR POSITION. * FURTHERMORE, IF YOU ARE APPLYING TO BE A COORDINATOR, AND HAVE NEVER VOLUNTEERED FOR BAYANIHAN CLINIC, PLEASE FILL OUT AND SUBMIT A VOLUNTEER APPLICATION AS WELL. Bridge was created in 1990 because of the steadily decreasing number of Filipinos pursuing a higher education on a yearly basis. Bridge began as a student-run Filipino-targeted education service under UC Davis’ largest Filipino organization, Mga Kapatid. However, in 1997, it broke off and became its own separate student organization. In 1999, Bridge became a part of UCD’s Student Recruitment and Retention Center (SRRC) where five other culturally-based educational programs are housed, including Yika’l Kuyum, ACE, NE’UE, GAAAP, and SAFE. According to the SARI (Student Affairs Research Institute) there are 4.6% Filipinos out of 22,750 students enrolled at UC Davis. The numbers indicate that Filipinos are under-represented in higher education. In response to the eradication of affirmative action, our services try to equalize these numbers and create a diverse community. We realize there are many factors that contribute to the success or failure within the educational system. These factors are unique to the Filipino community, which include early preparation, Filipino family support, feelings of isolation, pressures from parents to pursue popular fields of study, lack of cultural validation, and numerous other factors that mold a person’s life. The Filipino culture is very complex and education is intertwined with our daily experiences. Our goal is to help empower students to transform this educational system and validate the complexity of the Filipino culture through our services.
