    Description

    Teen/Young Adult Mental Health Storyteller (16-25, fully remote)

    Teens4TeensHelp is seeking teens and young adults (ages 16–25) who have a mental health or emotional wellness story they feel ready to share.

    We believe young people are more likely to open up when they hear from someone who truly understands their experiences. By sharing your story, you can help others feel less alone and more hopeful about their own journey.

    Your story will be added to our website with over 30 existing storytellers from a wide range of topics. Story topics we are looking for: Addiction, Anxiety, ADHD & Other Learning Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, Bullying, Depression, Eating Disorders, Foster Care, OCD, and LGBTQIA+ stories.

    What You’ll Do:

    • Meet with our team via Zoom to discuss your story and make sure you're ready to share (~30 minutes)
    • We will provide you with materials to prepare to share your story and what to expect
    • Meet via Zoom for 30 minutes to 1 hour and share your story. We typically go through the full story twice.

    Who We’re Looking For:

    • Ages 16–25 (under 18 will need parental consent)
    • Lived experience with mental health or emotional challenges
    • Willingness to share your story in a way that feels comfortable to you
    • No prior experience required

    Time Commitment: Flexible, one-time or ongoing opportunities available

    Important Note:

    You are always in control of what and how much you share. We encourage storytelling that feels safe and supportive for you. You do not need to have everything “figured out” to participate.
