In the past, the Bruin Democrats helped plan an event with the high school division of Generation Dean. Also, the Bruin Democrats have opened their doors to many high school students who were interested in politics, yet had no high school level program to allow them to peruse their passion. Thus, the Bruin Democrats were inspired to create a high school outreach program to assist younger students who are interested in our government. This tour of schools will advocate active youth involvement in politics, one of the overarching goals in our club. Moreover, we believe that this bi-partisan tour with the Bruin Republicans will demonstrate to young people the importance of working with different groups. The Bruin Democrats believe that high school students will see that they too can make a difference and will want to continue to do so in their collegiate years. Moreover, this is a wonderful occasion to highlight the opportunities available offered at our university campus, and serve as part of recruitment for high school students to go to college and UCLA in particular.

As the majority of campus clubs are left-leaning, we believe we have an ample opportunity to successfully co-program many events. Thus, our objective this year is to improve relations and build networks with other groups on campus through inviting them to take part in our activities. In addition to our bipartisan activities with the Bruin Republicans, the Bruin Democrats plan on reaching out and collaborating with Amnesty International, the Progressive Jewish Student Association, the Queer Alliance, the Asian Pacific Coalition, the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance, CALPIRG, the Political Science Student Organization, and other organizations. Not only will this assure the success of our events, we believe that positive relationships between diverse campus leaders will be to the benefit of all students involved.
