YouthMOVE Ohio
We are a group of young leaders, 14-30 years old, representing multi-systems. We work to improve systems and services for youth around Ohio through advocacy, education, community service, and peer support.
NAMI Next Gen
One of NAMI’s overall guiding principles is nothing about us, without us, which is why we created NAMI Next Gen, a 10-member young adult advisory group. The group represents the voices of youth and young adults across the country and will be advising, creating and innovating how NAMI works with youth and young adults.
