The Jed Foundation (JED)’s Fall 2025 Texas Youth Advocacy Coalition (YAC) Fellowship brings together young mental health advocates across the state of Texas in a brave space to drive change through education, policy advocacy, media, and storytelling.
This six-week hybrid, paid fellowship trains undergraduate students in mental health advocacy and community outreach. Fellows receive a structured curriculum, expert mentorship, and paid compensation to develop and launch their own strategic advocacy plans.
Fellows present their work at JED’s Annual Policy Summit in Washington, D.C. and continue their advocacy throughout the academic year.
The application period for JED’s 2025 Fall cohort of the Texas YAC Fellowship ended on Tuesday, August 19, 2025.
