Are you a South Asian high school student? Are you interested in learning about mental health? Do you want to learn about advocacy and your community?

Apply now to the Mannmukti Youth Fellowship Program to learn from experts, meet like-minded students across the world, and be a part of an invaluable learning experience!

MannMukti is a non-profit organization that aims to raise awareness and reduce stigma about South Asian mental health.

This is the second year MannMukti is hosting a Youth Fellowship Program. This is a great opportunity for high school students to learn about mental health with peers across the world. Students in the fellowship will participate in virtual lecture and discussion sessions, followed by a capstone project of their choosing to raise awareness about their selected intersection of mental health. Previous projects have included apps, podcasts, research papers, and extracurricular clubs.

The Fellowship application just launched and is due on Monday, April 4, 2022 at 11:59 pm PST.

The application is available at tinyurl.com/mannmuktiYFstudent.
