The Kababayan Program
The Kababayan Program is a transfer and community support program with the goal of increasing proficiency in English skills for success in college, work, and life. It is open to all students and focuses on the Filipino/Filipino American student experience.

Filipino Student Union
The FSU was formed in Fall 2004 for students interested in learning more about Filipino culture and heritage and sharing this information with the community.

Kapatiran Mentorship Program
The Kapatiran Mentorship Program (Tagalog for “brotherhood/sisterhood”) pairs up first-semester Kababayan Program members with a peer mentor who is a current Skyline College/Kababayan student and has taken or is currently enrolled in a Kababayan course. Mentees are welcomed into a family of mentors and other fellow mentees and receive crucial support and guidance. These pamilyas replicate the cooperative nature of the Filipino culture, emphasizing collective responsibility and guidance for one another through an extended family network.

Kababayan Dance Troupe of Skyline College
The Kababayan Dance Troupe, formed in Spring 2008, aims to introduce the fundamentals of traditional Filipino dance techniques, styles and performance with an emphasis on the cultural origins and variations of these dances.
