What an inspiring initiative from the Schultz Family Foundation, Pinterest, and AmeriCorps! Such a smart way to leverage the power of national service to address the youth mental health crisis. We are big believers in near-peer supports for our young people navigating the stressors and ambiguities of life as an adolescent. Hats off to all the great people doing the work!

When our co-founder and chair Sheri Schultz challenged us to leverage the power of national service to address the youth mental health crisis, we were excited to step up to the challenge. In partnership with Pinterest and AmeriCorps, we launched the Youth Mental Health Corps. The Corps is an initiative where young people can build skills, earn credentials, and receive a stipend?as they help their peers?in schools and communities across the country. ?
