LAUNCH
YOUR JOURNEY TO POST GRAD LIFE BEGINS HERE
We equip UCSD seniors with the tools and community needed to thrive post-graduation, inspiring a life of purpose, faith, and impact.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
How does one thrive in adulthood?
MENTORSHIP & COACHING
All the mentors at Launch were once college students who have since graduated, gotten jobs, and even started families.
We remember how many questions we had about all aspects of life and appreciated the mentorship we received along the way and still receive today. We’ve been mentoring college students for 10+ years and have enjoyed helping to guide them through life’s transitions in this next decade. If you're a senior, reach out to a mentor. We'd love to chat!
Without counsel plans fail,
but with many advisers they succeed.
-Proverbs 15:22
COMMUNITY
Launch is a community created for seniors at UCSD, where we regularly share meals, laugh, read and discuss God's Word, play games, and navigate the ups and downs of life together. Life is hard, and we all need people to go through it with. Come join our community—we’ll tackle life together!
"The internet and smartphones are fantastic for connections, communication, and knowledge. But connections are not friends, communication is not intimacy, and knowledge is not wisdom.”
― Justin Whitmel Earley, Made for People
LIFE SKILLS
Adulting is hard, but you don't have to do it alone. Here at Launch, we teach and practice the practical skills of life to make things easier and more efficient, so we can ultimately have more bandwidth to love one another. Come learn with us—it’s fun and often tasty!
If the ax is dull and its edge unsharpened, more strength is needed, but skill will bring success."
-Ecclesiastes 10:10
