Our Philosophy
-
1: Mentorship and Coaching
All the mentors at Launch were once college students who have since graduated, gotten jobs, and started families.
We remember just how many questions we had about all aspects of life and appreciated the mentorship we received along the way and still receive today. We would, therefore, like to make ourselves available as mentors to UNC and NC State seniors, knowing that they, too, will be going through many life 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 -
2: Community
Launch is a community created for seniors at UNC and NC State, 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 -
3: 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
