Bienvenidos and Welcome!
We are very pleased to continue leading the BCH Chicanx Latinx Campus Association (CLCA), which held our inaugural gathering on September 17, 2021. Our meetings have been vibrant, exciting and forewarding thinking. Our members have high expectations and are highly motivated to promote our Latinx heritage, culture, and professionalism. We welcome all of our Latinx family and allies to come join us. BCH CLCA aims to create advancement, community and support for our Chicanx, Hispanic, and Latinx BCH staff.
Monthly meetings are held every 2nd Friday at 2 pm. For more information, please email [email protected] and bookmark this site. See our activities below.

CHAMPS Fundraiser
Support CHAMPS Graduates with a Laptop for College
Join the us in raising funds for our graduating high school seniors from the CHAMPS Program with laptops for college, a crucial step towards lifting up our local youth. CHAMPS (Community Health & Adolescent Mentoring Program for Success) supports high school students interested in health professions by participating in a three-year internship at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital Oakland, which combines a comprehensive academic program with career planning and clinical shadowing experiences.
In 2023, during our second year of fundraising, we raised $3300 awarding 3 students with laptops. In 2022, we raised $2950 gifting 4 students each with a laptop.
Your generosity helps students who face extraordinary barriers growing up from underserved communities in their pursuit of higher education, with the ultimate goal of becoming a future healthcare provider. All tax-deductible donations made on this page by April 30th will be matched 1:1 (dollar for dollar) up to $10,000 courtesy of an anonymous donor! Please take advantage of this opportunity and make a donation to support our BCH youth today!
Thank you so much for being a part of our compassionate community.
Somos una familia unida, Si Se Puede!
