2021-2022 SPTS Youth Council New Member Application Form
The SPTS Virtual Youth Council is open to high school students in New Jersey, who are interested in learning more about mental health and wellness, stress management, resiliency, and how to help peers in need. Since 2015, over 500 high school students have participated in the Youth Council. Students will participate in monthly meetings that focus on the components of the Wellness Wheel – emotional, intellectual, physical, social, environmental, financial, and spiritual wellness. Students will also learn about their role in suicide prevention, the importance of going to a trusted adult when they need help, and local and national resources.

If you are interested in joining the SPTS Youth Council, please complete the following member form. If you are a new member applying for the first time, you will be asked to submit a reference letter on your behalf. This letter can be submitted after your application online at www.sptsusa.org/youthcouncil. Returning applicants are not required to submit a reference letter.

After you submit your form and reference letter, the Youth Council manager will contact you to provide more information on our first meeting. If you have any questions, please contact SPTS Operations Manager, Kyle Kalbach, at kyle@sptsusa.org.
