AB540 Project 

The AB540 Project was created in 2005 with the intention to serve the undocumented student population. Our mission is to inform and educate undocumented high school and community college students about AB-540 and other resources available in their pursuit of higher education. The mentoring component builds a solid relationship between current AB-540 UCLA students and potential incoming AB-540 students to foster support and guidance to navigate the educational system. Our workshop component provides small workshops to students, educators, and the general community to further inform them about the issues affecting the undocumented student experience.
