We established a grant and invite local nonprofits to create a new or extend a current project that the Youth Action Board would help fund up to $4,000 or more to support for Mental Health – specifically, anxiety, depression, and suicide prevention to the youth of Yellow Springs and Miami Township.

The Youth Action Board believes that access to mental health services are a basic and necessary human need that should not be restricted by one’s socio-economic status, race, identity, mobility, or any other possible discriminating factor. Young people experience a variety of emotional distress daily including anxiety, lack of confidence & dignity, embarrassment, insecurity, loss of self-esteem, depression, and many health issues related to the lack of accessible mental health services. We have seen our peer’s mental health deteriorate and was magnified through the pandemic. We believe continued support for this can increase our youth’s capacity to thrive physically, intellectually, and emotionally into adulthood.

We are still fundraising. The board has a goal to raise over $4,000. We invite you to become an Impact Partner and invest in our youth today. You can donate by cash, check or online – even cryptocurrency.
