Welcome to Cal Bears in the Desert!
We are proud to be the vibrant Cal alumni community rooted in the Coachella Valley, dedicated to supporting current students, connecting alumni, and fostering lifelong Golden Bear pride. As a bridge between the beautiful desert region and the Berkeley campus, we bring together alumni, students, parents, and local partners to create opportunities, provide mentorship, and celebrate Calโs tradition of excellence.
Our work goes beyond connectionโwe actively empower students through scholarships, outreach, and resource sharing, and we cultivate a strong, inclusive network where every Bear can thrive. Whether youโre here to find support, attend events, volunteer, or simply reconnect, you are part of a dynamic community committed to making a difference.
We invite you to get involvedโjoin us in mentoring the next generation, expanding our community impact, and strengthening the bonds that make us more than just alumni. Together, we build connections, share stories, and uplift one anotherโbecause once a Bear, always a Bear.
Join us and be part of something meaningful. Welcome home!
