My Nonprofit Reviews

Active Minds changed my life. I went into undergrad undiagnosed and suffering with a mental illness. Active Minds was the first extra curricular group meeting I went to on campus and never looked back. Through Active Minds I was able to build leadership skills through serving on their e-boards, gain friends far and wide, and learn how to tell my own mental health story. Active Minds gave me the confidence to reach out for help and surround me with others when I had felt so alone in my mental health. I left undergrad diagnosed and have told my own mental health story on multiple platforms. Further, they surrounded and supported my family when we lost my brother in 2017 to suicide. You will not find an organization that is more passionate about their members as well as transparent on their impact. Through a third-party they have had Active Minds reviewed and it showed that Active Minds has made an impact on youth mental health and help seeking. They are also wide open to how their donations are raised, utilized, and transformed into multiple national events every year. Alison, the founder, I have had the pleasure to get to know on a personal level and she is the most inspiring genuine human you will ever meet. Their staff is also filled with the most passionate and diverse group of individuals working every day to bring awareness to a cause that has often been stigmatized and looked over. There are not enough words or thanks I could give this organization for what they have done for me. I am beyond grateful and lucky to serve currently on their inaugural Alumni Board.
