Parents’ Council
The UCLA Parents’ Council is the Parent & Family Association’s volunteer leadership group, made up of family members who serve as ambassadors for the University. Council members connect with current and prospective families, volunteer their time and talents to campus, and bring the family perspective to the UCLA experience.
Deadline: Sunday, July 12.
What Council members do
Council members enhance the undergraduate experience by:
- Giving families a formal link to the University through peer-to-peer connections and leadership opportunities
- Sharing firsthand knowledge and resources that help Bruin families support student success
- Taking part in initiatives and activities that support students and campus partners while building affinity for the University
Who can apply
Applications for the 2026-27 Parents’ Council are open. Parents and family members of undergraduate Bruins attending UCLA during the 2026-27 academic year are welcome to apply, including families of incoming first-year and transfer students.
The deadline to apply is Sunday, July 12. Applicants will be notified of their selection in early August.
Supporting students through the Council
In 2019, a group of parent volunteers established the UCLA Parents’ Council Emeriti Scholarship to create lasting impact through scholarship support. Since then, eight undergraduates have received merit-based awards through the fund. You can support the scholarship or learn about other ways families give.
