Are you a young adult that is passionate about mental health advocacy and eager to make an impact at the state level?
NAMI Massachusetts is launching a NEXTGEN Youth Advisory Council, modeled after NAMI National. NEXTGEN aims to represent diverse voices of young adults (18-25) across the state, ensuring that their voices, needs, and ideas are integrated into the same policies, programs, and services that directly affect them.
Through NEXTGEN, NAMI Massachusetts seeks to empower youth by providing a platform for leadership, offering training opportunities, supporting creative projects, and fostering a strong community of like-minded advocates
This is a one-year, stipended position (July 2025 – June 2026) for up to 10 young adults. Members can expect to commit 4-6 hours a month, including a monthly, virtual meeting. While the position is primarily remote and consists of work in the members’ own communities, there will be a few in-person engagements throughout the term.
To apply, please submit an application (including a resume). We are accepting applications until 5 PM on Friday, April 18th and will hold interviews in May. Final offers will be sent out in June.
