The Jed Foundation (JED) is now accepting applications for the 2026 cohort of the Texas Mental Health Youth Advocacy Coalition (YAC) Fellowship.
YAC brings together young mental health advocates in a brave space to drive change through education, policy advocacy, media, and storytelling.
This ten-week hybrid, paid fellowship trains undergraduate students in mental health advocacy and community outreach. Fellows receive a structured curriculum, expert mentorship, and paid compensation to develop and launch their own strategic advocacy plans.
Fellows will participate in Advocacy Days on Capitol Hill and continue their advocacy throughout the 2026-2027 academic year.
