BCS is a student-led organization at UCLA dedicated to advocating for and supporting students who are caregivers for adult dependents. We have two primary goals: to provide practical resources, support, and connection for caregiving students, and to work towards changing policies through advocacy efforts. We aim to raise awareness of the unique challenges caregiving students face and work towards enhancing institutional policies and support systems.

You can reach us by emailing bruincaregiverscholars@gmail.com for more information. We’re happy to answer any additional questions or provide more details about our work.

We welcome collaborations with faculty, departments, and community partners. Please reach out to us via email at bruincaregiverscholars@gmail.com to discuss potential opportunities for collaboration.

BCS advocates for policy change by raising awareness of caregiving student issues through research, presentations, outreach campaigns, and collaborating with university stakeholders. Our goal is to improve institutional policies and expand resources for caregiving students.

BCS focuses on issues like recognition of caregiving student identity, inclusion in institutional policies, access to financial support, and improved mental health resources for caregiving students. We aim to create a more inclusive environment at UCLA.

You can get involved by attending our meetings, joining our advocacy teams, participating in outreach campaigns, or applying for a leadership position within the club. We also encourage members to share their stories and experiences as caregiving students to help drive change.
