ABOUT
- Speak Out for Surgery (SOS) is a student-led organization committed to advocating for equitable healthcare access. Our mission is twofold: first, to raise awareness about the pressing issue of healthcare disparities, shedding light on the barriers individuals face due to socio-economic and cultural factors, and second, to actively work towards bridging these gaps. As a club, we’ve evolved from our early days of connecting individuals and their families with vital medical, social, and legal resources in Los Angeles to a broader mission that includes educational workshops, awareness campaigns, and meaningful community partnerships. SOS welcomes individuals from all backgrounds who share our passion for creating a more equitable healthcare landscape.
MISSION
- As part of our ongoing efforts to promote health equity, SOS engages in various initiatives, including:
- Awareness and Education: We actively raise awareness about healthcare disparities, striving to foster a deeper understanding of the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals and communities. Through interviews, podcasts, and health fairs, we empower individuals with knowledge to drive positive change.
- High School Health Curriculum: SOS is at the forefront of developing a comprehensive high school curriculum focused on health literacy. By equipping high school students with critical healthcare information, we encourage the next generation to make informed decisions about their well-being.

Jumpstart UCLA is currently hiring for the 2023-2024 program year, and we’d like to invite you to apply!
Friday, August 11th, 2023Jumpstart is a national early education program working toward the day that every child in America enters Kindergarten prepared to succeed. To achieve this vision, we partner teams of caring college students like yourself with local preschool classrooms located in underserved communities to promote language, literacy, and social-emotional skills. Did you know that children from low-income neighborhoods often start kindergarten 60%, or roughly 18 months, behind their more affluent peers? This is what we refer to as the “kindergarten achievement gap” and it only grows wider with each grade level if not addressed early. Jumpstart members play a vital role in our movement to close this gap and give our next generation the jumpstart needed to succeed both academically and socially.
