MAHAL: Mentors Always Helping & Leading Mentorship Program
MAHAL is a peer mentorship program I developed at for first-year Filipinx/Filipinx American identified students at UC Davis. MAHAL is the first campus funded peer mentorship program for Fil Am students at UC Davis and still exists today!
MAHAL Mission Statement:
The purpose of BRIDGE: Pilipinx Outreach & Retention peer mentorship program, MAHAL: Mentors Always Helping and Leading, is to provide a space where first years and first year transfers are able to foster a meaningful and productive relationship with an experienced UC Davis student that can aid them navigating academic resources on campus, developing leadership skills, preparing for their post grad career, getting advice about their chosen academic path and finding home within the UC Davis Fil Am community. Through this relationship, both mentors and mentees will think critically about college success and retention, gain support, and grow in love and community.
