Mental Health America:
The YPA is a youth leadership program that equips 10 outstanding young adults with the skills, relationships, and experience to advance federal youth peer support policy.
Who Is It For?
YPA members are young adult leaders (18-25) with diverse backgrounds and identities interested in the intersection of policy change and youth peer support.
Members have a range of experience and expertise. For example, some YPA members may have exclusively worked in policy advocacy while others have led peer support programs or worked as peer specialists.
Participants must be authorized to work in the United States, and they must make a commitment to complete the entire program.
