Thank you for your interest in joining Aware at UCLA!

Aware’s mission is to create a safe space where students can discuss relevant ethical issues in order to build their own identities, be better advocates, and participate in thoughtful, non-judgmental discussions. We hope to encourage members in their activism and advocacy efforts and bring together voices from various communities.

Our club will consist of discussion seminars addressing present-day ethical debates that are aided by articles and other resources gathered by our teams. We will also offer educational workshops led by professors and partner organizations about various topics ranging from service, activism, communication, politics and more. We hope to connect students to volunteering and donating opportunities, and to empower students by allowing them to lead their own special projects. We encourage students from all political, religious, ethnic, socioeconomic, and cultural backgrounds to join so that we may promote an all-inclusive dialogue that allows us to better understand each other’s perspectives as we strive to become active agents of change in our communities.

We hope that Aware is a supportive environment for students looking to further educate themselves on world issues and debates, and to inform their civic engagement and advocacy efforts.

Aware meetings are Thursdays at 6:00pm. Odd weeks are Leadership meetings and even weeks will be whole club meetings. (General member commitment is biweekly, interns and director commitment is every week). Every member is also required to participate in one community engagement event per quarter outside of club meeting time.

If you have any questions regarding the application, or any general questions about Aware, please reach out to the Executive Directors via aware.ucla@gmail.com 

Membership applications are due Sunday, April 4th at 11:59pm

Good luck!
