National Mental Health Youth Advocacy Coalition (YAC) Internship with The Jed Foundation (JED)

The Jed Foundation (JED) is now accepting applications for the summer 2026 cohort of the National Mental Health Youth Advocacy Coalition (YAC) Internship. YAC brings together young mental health advocates in a brave space to drive change through education, policy advocacy, media, and storytelling. This eight-week hybrid, paid internship trains undergraduate students in mental health advocacy and community outreach. Interns receive a structured curriculum, expert mentorship, and paid compensation to develop and launch their own strategic advocacy plans. Interns will participate in Advocacy Days on Capitol Hill (July 20, 2026 – July 23, 2026) and continue their advocacy throughout the 2026-2027 academic year. Head to the JED Website to learn more information and to apply by April 10, 2026 at 5pm
