OUR STORY Bridge was created in 1987 because of the steadily decreasing number of Pilipinos pursuing a higher education on a yearly basis. Bridge began as a student-run Pilipino-targeted education service under UC Davis’ largest Pilipino organization, Mga Kapatid. However, in 1997, it broke off and became its own separate student organization in order to provide more services to the greater Pilipinx community. In 1999, Bridge became a part of UCD’s Student Recruitment and Retention Center (SRRC) where six other culturally-based educational programs are housed, including ACE, AIRR, Collective, GAAAP, SOL y LUNA and SAFE.

OUR MISSION The Goals of Bridge are to empower Pilipinx students by: -Outreaching to high school students to provide resources and mentorship in order to encourage them to pursue higher education. -Providing academic and personal resources to students already in higher education towards the goal of graduation. -Promoting cultural and community awareness. -Increasing the recruitment and retention rate of Pilipinx students at all levels of education. -Striving for social justice and educational equity.

We realize there are many factors that contribute to the success or failure within the educational system. These factors are unique to the Pilipino community, which include early preparation, 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 Pilipino 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 Pilipino culture through our services.
