Join Gold Shield

Gold Shield is a selective, honorary organization composed of approximately 150 distinguished UCLA alumnae. New members are inducted once a year in the spring. Our members are accomplished leaders and volunteers; women who bring passion, initiative, and a deep commitment to supporting UCLA. They are changemakers in their professions and communities, and they share a common purpose: to uplift the Bruin community through philanthropy, mentorship, and service.

All of Gold Shield’s programs and initiatives are member-led. With no paid staff, the strength of the organization lies in the energy, creativity, and collaboration of its members -- traits that have defined Gold Shield since its founding in 1936. Many members also serve in leadership roles across the UCLA ecosystem, including the Alumni Association Board of Directors, the UCLA Foundation Board of Governors, and other advisory groups across campus.
