Connecting leaders at Cal with alumni mentors

ThirdSpace is a third space apart from school and home at UC Berkeley — created by alumni for students to slow down, reflect, and grow as whole people.

Berkeley students are often pouring into academics, leadership, and future plans, but rarely have space where someone is intentionally pouring into them. ThirdSpace exists to change that.
