Tell the YMHC Story
Help shape how the Youth Mental Health Corps shows up social media.
What is the Digital Fellows Program?
The YMHC Digital Fellows Program is where members shape how the Corps shows up on social media. Fellows work as a youth-led creative team, making social-first content about mental health, their member experience, and what it's really like to serve — telling the story of the Corps in their own voice.
What You’ll Do
As a Digital Fellow you’ll help shape how YMHC shows up on social media while building your own creative skills:
Build a youth-driven network
- Connect with Fellows across the country to share resources and experiences and build relationships that last.
Drive continuous improvement
- Give ongoing feedback through surveys and group reflection, and help adapt the program so it stays relevant and responsive.
Grow your craft
- Learn from working creators and professionals, and build skills you can carry into any career.
Create content for YMHC
- Make social-first content about mental health, service, and the topics that matter to young people.
Bring your ideas to the table
- Pitch concepts each month and help shape what the team makes.
