Supporting the Next Generation Who Want to Improve Mental Health & Responsible Tech
Got an idea to take on the youth mental health crisis? A campaign, a youth-led movement? Start with us! We’ll back it with a mentor, $2,500 in start-up funding, and a cohort of like-minded peers to help you along the way!
We don’t tell leaders of the future what to do.

Keegan Lee, author of "60 Days of Disconnect", was a member of the 2024 cohort and has since authored research findings, created an educational course for teachers and parents, maintained international speaking engagements, and continues to be a fierce advocate for change.
2025 Innovators Salma Akter and Jen Chiou built AGG: Quest Craft, a tabletop role-playing game where youth build social skills, explore creativity, and connect with diverse cultural stories
