Donate! | Do you want to help send funds over to orphans in China?

Our organization works alongside OneSky to help acquire clothing, food, blankets, and money for surgery for beautiful babies that are being cared for until they are able to have a forever family to go home to.

Executive Directors’ Note:

Welcome to the China Care Bruins (CCB) website! We both joined CCB in our freshman year of college at UCLA, and since then, CCB has given us so many opportunities to affect the community around us through mentoring and interacting with Chinese adoptees. The many people involved with the club have become family to us, and we are enthusiastic about this upcoming school year!

CCB is a mentorship program between UCLA students and Chinese adoptees who live in Southern California. We hold two to three events here on the UCLA campus every quarter. Through our buddy system, we strive to create a community for the youth to feel comfortable being themselves and meet other adoptees and their families.

As we enter the 15th year of China Care Bruins, we are both excited for the memories ahead of us!

Best,
Michelle & Lisa
Executive Directors | 2019-2020

Updates:

15th year of China Care Bruins!

We can’t believe it’s been 15 years since UCLA China Care Bruins started! When we started out, we had about 7 little buddies and 10 college volunteers. Now, our organization has expanded to about 40 little buddies and 55 college volunteers. Along with our concentration in mentorship, we have also added fundraising, outreach, and social aspects in the last 15 years. Here’s to another great year and the years to come!
