Our Ambassadors | The UCLA Family Commons Santa Monica

The mission of The UCLA Family Commons is to inspire families and communities to discover their unique potential for well-being. We offer a welcoming environment filled with classes, events, coaching and excitement about creating healthy, engaged lives.

We envision a world where all possess the tools they need to move through the world with confidence and innovation—for life. Healthier families make stronger communities, and healthier communities make stronger families. When children and parents take charge of their own well-being, they build both.

You’ll find mothers, fathers, grandparents, and those without offspring who still maintain a vibrant connection to children and families. Each is thriving amidst the daily challenges of life we all face. We hope their stories will inspire you to create your own life of well-being.
