TRENZA provides Chicanx/Latinx women with academic, community, and social support in order to ensure their success as students at UC Berkeley. Our alumni organization offers that same community of support to graduates as they advance in their lives and careers, in addition to offering opportunities for engagement with the campus and current students. TRENZA is also known as TRENZA Alliance and our members are referred to as Trenzudas.

Student members meet weekly to discuss issues affecting Chicanx/Latinx women, organize workshops and activities on topics such as career development and health/well-being and participate in community building social and cultural events. Members of TRENZA collaborate with UC Berkeley staff, faculty, fellow students and alumni to access campus and community resources for our members but also look beyond our own communities to support and advocate for other groups in need and particularly Chicanx/Latinx women pursing higher education.

Although we are a non-political organization, TRENZA respects the views of its members. Members are aware of the diversity among us and acknowledge the need to be all-inclusive, respecting different political views and ideologies. The sisterhood we provide creates life lasting bonds that have resulted in positive outcomes for our members and the continued success of the organization.
