Join Young Adults

About the role

Mental health challenges often begin in late adolescence and early adulthood (ages 18-29). We recognize the huge potential of young adults pursuing mental health recovery. Our members and families have shared how unsettling and isolating that time can be. At the Academy, we make a concerted effort to engage young adults early in the recovery process.

• Utilize and further develop the interests and skill sets of our young adults through social and vocational opportunities.
• Work with Academy members on technology projects, including using Apple Macs, Windows PCs, photo and video equipment, and live streaming events.
• Support Academy members in achieving their educational goals by developing relationships with high schools, institutes, and colleges.
• Encourage speaking out by having Academy members participate in public forums to build mental health awareness and share their experiences.
