The American Indian Recruitment Program at UCLA was formed in the mid 1990's out of a general concern among American Indian students at UCLA that the University of California, Los Angeles was not doing enough to outreach to Native American students in high school. The members of the American Indian Student Association initiated the American Indian Recruitment Program, also known as AIR, in an attempt to service the largest American Indian Community in the United States. Currently, the AIR program services the Southern California Indian Center and Torres Martinez LA Tribal TANF with tutoring, peer advising, mentoring, workshops, and higher education preparation.

AISA is an inclusive association, open to all UCLA students. Since American Indians make up less than 1% of the entire student body, we have established a strong relationship that supports all students in their efforts to receive an education here at UCLA. Our community is a place that students come together and work collectively in an effort to promote education and interest in their culture. We work as a community to dispel any misconceptions any misunderstandings regarding the art, language, history and lives of American Indians. Each person represents their respective nation and is encouraged to express and share their culture. Within this small community, you are someone, and we are here to listen. We also encourage students that have lost a part of their culture to come and learn about the community and instill a sense of pride to motivate them to help the community. It is the diverse backgrounds that strengthens our group as each student brings with them talent or perspective that benefits the America Indian community. We are not just a club, but a community that you are a part of. We invite you to join us and strive for education.
