CAMP Philippines (College Admissions Mentors for Peers in the Philippines) is a student-run group whose mission is to provide and expand international education opportunities for young Filipinos, regardless of their socioeconomic background or status, to equip them with the skills and experiences they need to help the Philippines succeed in a global context. Our programs include a mentoring program for third and fourth-year high school students for applying to international colleges, a yearly study abroad conference, college talks at local high schools, and a summer internship program. In providing resources and guidance for applying to colleges abroad, it is our wish that Filipino students may be given the opportunity to expand their horizons and seek out the best possible education available to them. However, greater than just personal development, our overall vision includes encouraging students to bring back everything they have learned and gained to the Philippines, their home country. By doing this, we not only create a generation more readily apt and equipped to make lasting change, but also a stronger, enlightened, and more united nation. WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE? We believe our purpose is three-fold:
1. We bridge the resource gap between international school students and local school students when pursuing international education opportunities.
2. We form a support system of Filipinos studying abroad, connecting both international school graduates and local school graduates.
3. We create a cadre of young Filipinos eager to return to the Philippines and effect social change.
