Year-long program convenes 25 thought leaders to develop content that amplifies youth mental health research, supports youth-informed policy initiatives, and elevates diverse innovators.
The fellowship will provide extraordinary support, leadership skills, and knowledge to ensure their ideas shape not only their fields but one of the most urgent conversations of our age. The fellowship is part of a broader initiative in partnership with The OpEd Project to change who writes history.
The 2026 Fellows are working at the intersection of youth well-being and power, and include organization leaders, academic researchers, scientists, and mental health advocates. Each has a demonstrated desire and ability to contribute to public dialogue and thought leadership.
