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.

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.
