Mental Health America Young Leaders Council 2027

The Mental Health America Young Leaders Council 2027 is a paid nine-month youth advocacy cohort running September 2026 to May 2027, and MHA is selecting just five young adults aged 18 to 25 for it. Members receive a $2,000 stipend, attend monthly 90-minute virtual sessions with experts, co-create a capstone project, and speak at the Mental Health America Conference in Washington DC on 8 and 9 October 2026 with travel and lodging paid. The 2026-2027 council focuses on financial well-being and access to meaningful work, set against the fact that almost 12 per cent of US youth are not in education, employment or training and 41 per cent of recent college graduates are underemployed. No degree, GPA or enrolment is required, only direct experience with programmes at that intersection. Applications close Friday 28 August 2026 with decisions by Friday 4 September.
