MannMukti’s Youth Fellowship is a 6 month, virtual, volunteer, part-time opportunity for high school students to get involved in mental health advocacy. It is open to any person (ages 13 - 18) from the South Asian diaspora.

Our goal, as an organization, is to normalize mental health and mental wellbeing discourse within South Asian communities through storytelling and providing access to resources to combat stigma. Our goal, through this fellowship, is to create a safe space for youth to explore these identity-oriented conversations alongside experts, educators and advocates. We hope to connect you to a community that supports you in having these vulnerable conversations and help you empower yourself.

The program is split into two parts: Educational Curriculum and Capstone Accelerator.

As a mentor, your responsibilities would include:
-Attending weekend discussions
-Attending 1:1 sessions with each mentee
-Keeping in touch through slack
-Participating in discussion threads

Given the structure of the program, we require that applicants can dedicate 4-6hrs / week towards the fellowship for the entire duration.

The program will be launching in May 2022 and conclude in November 2022.

Deadline to apply: April 4, 2022 at 11:59 PM PST
