Kasamahan at USF encourages our members to get involved with the broader San Francisco, Filipino, and/or Fil-Am communities through education, events, and mobilization. Our Community and Political Affairs Co-Directors are here to provide opportunities for membership to do so. We aim to be a resource not only within the greater USF community, but to the world beyond our campus.
Here, you will find a list of organizations that we support and resources for getting involved. This also serves as a hub for all of our resources that we’ve shared on our Instagram, whether that be infographics, solidarity statements, research pages, etc. Make sure to stay up to date on our Instagram stories for when we post mobilization and volunteer opportunities in the greater San Francisco area.
For more information or for any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact our Community and Political Affairs Co-Directors, Janelle Olano and Riana De Veas, at usfkacacd@gmail.com.
