Promly is a wonderful nonprofit. They champion the mental health of Gen Z-ers, which to me, is one of the most important things an organization can do. With the ever-increasing stress of schoolwork, college, finding a job, social life, and many other things, I'm glad to see that there are people out there who are here when you need it the most.
I think Promly is an excellent app with a range of features that specifically cater to the needs of young people. The app is designed with a strong emphasis on youth contribution, which makes it truly youth-focused. As a non-profit organization, I find Promly very commendable, and my experience with it so far has been great.

They work everyone puts in is seen in how thoughtful and planned everything on the app is. Promly is such a cool and unique way to spread mental health awareness and support those going through things.
Promly has given me the opportunity to use my skills in order to do better for the community. Their mission is to connect Gen Z by building a safe community for them. Within the app there is so many different features ranging from fun activities to do to mental health resources. I’m so happy to be apart of this team that strives for the better for Gen Z.
I joined Promly a few months ago and it is the best decision I have ever made. As a volunteer for this nonprofit, I work with others to think about ways Promly can be the best it could be. Promly is on its way to change lives for the better!
Making a difference in DC! Promly was able to get “youth representation” built into the Kids Online Safety Act, allowing better communication with policy makers and young people who are most impacted by technology.
Working as a volunteer at Promly has given me a platform for me to take my skills and help others. Although I am new to the organization, the work that they are doing is impressive, which is what prompted me to join in the first place. Volunteering has been an extremely enjoyable experience and I hope to continue in the future.
I really like working with Promly because everyone there is so nice and friendly, and it's a safe space to work with everyone. The leaders are super understanding and flexible, and we can work how we can according to our schedule. I love the work that Promly does as well, where we reach out to smaller companies and do various other work to help the community.
Promly has been so welcoming and supportive through mine and others mental health journey’s. The app allows people to express themselves and share there struggles while keeping it a safe place. The app has a plethora of mental health and physical health resources making it easy for teens to get help! The app encourages GenZ to share their voice and gives them a platform to do so!
I love Promly’s mission and how broad yet close to home it is to me. As a high school student, I would recommend using Promly, the newest social media form which is free therapy and coping techniques to ANY PERSON. Everyone will find their people on Promly and benefit from its meaningful support groups and connections! I can tell Promly is going to go FAR within this year ✨✨✨✨! Love it!
