UC Berkeley Chicanx Latinx Alumni Association

The UC Berkeley Chicanx Latinx Alumni Association (CLAA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Berkeley, California. The organization is relatively small, with only three employees dedicated to its mission. CLAA has a history dating back to 1984, and recently transitioned to an official nonprofit structure with a membership program. CLAA focuses on supporting both current students and alumni of UC Berkeley who identify as Chicanx or Latinx. Their primary function is to assist these individuals in successfully entering the workforce. A key component of this support is providing scholarships to students to help them succeed during their time at UC Berkeley. The organization distinguishes itself through its commitment to empowering and uplifting Chicanx and Latinx students and alumni. By providing financial assistance through scholarships, CLAA aims to alleviate the financial burdens faced by many students and enable them to focus on their academic pursuits.
