#LookForward Youth Advocacy Council Program Application

Powering the next generation of mental health advocates to create waves of change.


Did You Know…

Three quarters of mental health issues are established before the age of 24, with young women emerging as the highest-risk group. During their most formative years, young people are developing their identities and building the relationships that will shape their future. When young people feel supported and connected, they are more likely to advocate for themselves and others, and work to create a better future for all.

Apply to be part of an 8-week mentorship program for teens (ages 13 to 18) to grow as leaders & advocates for mental health, where you will:

  • Develop your unique leadership style and ideate on a mental health advocacy project
  • Receive mentorship and gain valuable insights from experts while connecting with peers
  • Be eligible to apply for a $1,000 project stipend (up to 4 will be awarded) to activate your passion project to advocate in your local community.
