Shadow Program has three options for students or classes to participate in:

Shadow Night - consists of a LARGE group of students. You get to spend the weekend  at Cal by being hosted by current UC Berkeley students.

Shadow Day - consists of a MEDIUM sized group—almost like a class of students. You get to spend the period of school day at Cal and get excused from school.

My PASS Shadow - consists of a SMALL sized group—group of less than 10 students, or just individual students. You get to spend either a day or a night, depending on your schedule (more information below)

Depending on the group size, Shadows can vary on how intimate of a college experience you want. If you like to be around A LOT of new faces from other high schools, maybe SHADOW NIGHT might be the experience for you. If you like to be around familiar faces, SHADOW DAY might be for you. If you like to be with just your close friends or maybe just you and a sibling, My PASS Shadow could be for you as well. Whatever you choose just know that MY PASS SHADOW is the most flexible with no set schedules while the other two have definite dates and attendant limits. 

Just to inform you, some of things included in the agenda of a Shadow Event are:
-Academic Workshops/Financial Aid workshops
-Campus Tours
-Student Panel

MYPASS Shadows
The myPASS shadow days are days where students personally come to campus and are assigned a mentor and host for the day. The mentor is shadowed by the student to their college classes and matched according to goals and interests, and also hosted over night. myPASS Shadows are usually smaller groups of students (1-5), and tailored to a weekend where they are available individually.

Sending you positive energy!!!

Why do we Outreach?

In 1980, Pilipin@s reached parity and were dropped from Student Affirmative Action, leading to a 90% drop Pilipin@ admissions rates in the next couple of years. Proposition 209 was passed in 1996, eliminating Affirmative Action and prohibiting public institutions from using race, sex, or ethnicity in admissions and contracting. In response to that Frank Lozier and David Maduli started SoCal Outreach, recognizing that Pilipin@s all across California were in need of outreach efforts. Still today, Pilipin@s are underrepresented on college campuses and outreach serves to inform students of their options after high school and that the privilege of a college degree is within their abilities.

Our Outreach events:

• Bay Area Outreaches - In the Fall semester, we outreach to High Schools and Community Colleges throughout the Bay Area.
• Central California Outreach - A week long trip outreaching to High Schools and Community Colleges in Central California. Central Cal Outreach was started in 2009 after PASS saw that Pilipin@s in these areas needed to be provided the same resources as those in Southern California and in the Bay Area. This is our opportunity for us to use our privilege of being Pilipin@s in higher education to inform them about the resources that are available to them.
• Southern California Outreach - A week long trip that will take place during Spring Break where we empower underrepresented and under resourced High School and Community College students in the San Diego and Los Angeles into pursuing Higher Education or transferring.

COME TO FILIPINO EMPOWERMENT DAY OCTOBER 29 2011 FROM 10AM-4PM. 

Filipino Empowerment Day (FED) is designed to educate and empower students and their families through academic, cultural, and political awareness. This is a FREE conference on the UC Berkeley campus open to all high school, community college, 4-year college students and their families. Though our organizations target Pilipino-American students, we welcome students of all ethnicities, grade levels and academic levels, as they can all benefit from such information.

Students and parents will be given the opportunity to learn more about the application process as well as other important issues, such as financial aid and student life.
This event is a collaboration event between Pilipino organizations at different universities. UC Berkeley PASS, UC Davis bridge, UC Santa Cruz FSA, CSU East Bay PASA, USF Kasamahan, SFSU Alpha Kappa Omicron, and Anakbayan Silicon Valley all work together to serve the greater Pilipino community in the form of this program.
