Connecting leaders at Cal with alumni mentors
ThirdSpace is a third space apart from school and home at UC Berkeley —created by alumni for student leaders to slow down, reflect, and grow as whole people.
Club officers pour into others through leadership and responsibility, but are rarely poured into themselves. ThirdSpace exists to change that. We offer a space where leaders learn how to better manage and resource their organizations, developing them along the way to have the soft skills and character needed to succeed in the real world.
Facilitated by young professionals shaped through work, graduate school, and ministry, ThirdSpace is a way of giving back to the next generation. ThirdSpace works with only a small number of student organizations and Greek chapters at a time to ensure depth, care, and meaningful investment. If you’re a club officer or chapter leader interested in exploring ThirdSpace for your group, reach out to set up a coffee chat for Spring 2026.
