Pilipino Recruitment and Enrichment Program

The Pilipino Recruitment and Enrichment Program is a student-run organization that empowers and educates the underprivileged and underrepresented youth of the Los Angeles community. Our main goals are to encourage students to pursue higher education, promote community consciousness, increase cultural awareness and foster leadership skills. In order to achieve these goals as well as engage students and staff in active participation, we focus on artistic activities to motivate and inspire. Combining education and art creates a connection between what we know of ourselves in relation to the outside world of knowledge. With an unrestrained power to advocate the freedom of expression, art not only enhances academic education but the education and empowerment of self. However, giving opportunities for self-expression and choice is not enough by itself. Equally important is the attitude with which projects are given and received.
