Born This Way Foundation’s mission is to support youth mental health and work with and for young people to build a kinder, braver world. One way we do that is by following the lead of our global Advisory Board, a cohort of young people ages 15-24 who are change-makers, advocates, and leaders across the world making significant strides to make kindness cool, validate the emotions of young people, and eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health.
Whether they’re using technology to foster empathy and inclusivity, speaking on global leadership summit panels, or even sharing about our latest research in Teen Vogue, our Advisory Board is building a kinder, braver world for us all. We’re so excited to celebrate them, and invite you to keep scrolling and learn what they’ve been up to:
