Sad Girls Club at UCI
About Sad Girls Club at UCI
The Sad Girls Club at UCI is a hybrid group created with the intention to normalize ALL the emotions we feel as humans (the good, bad, sad, and happy). Our goal is to create a safe virtual and in-person space for those who want to share about their everyday experiences without societal judgment. This community is full of warmth, support, care, love, and storytelling from all members.

We Rise Ambassador Program
About We Rise:
The We Rise Ambassador Program was created in Fall 2020 to provide a volunteer experience for students who are passionate about the work of the Womxn’s Center for Success, and who want to build community connections through outreach across campus. Ambassadors have the opportunity to create and execute programs, bring awareness to womxn’s issues, and promote the Womxn’s Center for Success. This program also includes personal and professional development opportunities so that Ambassadors integrate skills and practices that empower personal growth.
Participants will go through a 1.3 unit class in Fall 2023 on Wednesdays. This is a mandatory class in order to be part of the We Rise Ambassador Program.
