parents’ council
The UCLA Parents’ Council is the Parent & Family Association’s volunteer leadership group, made up of family members who serve as ambassadors for the University. Council members connect with current and prospective families, volunteer their time and talents to campus, and bring the family perspective to the UCLA experience.
what council members do
Council members enhance the undergraduate experience by:
- Giving families a formal link to the University through peer-to-peer connections and leadership opportunities
- Sharing firsthand knowledge and resources that help Bruin families support student success
- Taking part in initiatives and activities that support students and campus partners while building affinity for the University
who can apply
Applications to join Parents’ Council open annually in April and typically remain open through the beginning of July. Each year, parents and families of undergraduate Bruins attending UCLA during that academic year are welcome to apply, including families of incoming first-year and transfer students.
supporting students through the council
In 2019, a group of parent volunteers established the UCLA Parents’ Council Emeriti Scholarship to create lasting impact through scholarship support. Since then, eight undergraduates have received merit-based awards through the fund. You can support the scholarship or learn about other ways families give.
