Welcome to the Her Voice Youth Board Application

Her Voice is the MH Boxes Youth Board — a group of students who help guide the direction, programs, and decisions of MH Boxes. This board exists to make sure that the voices of Black girls are not just heard, but centered in the work that is meant to support them.

Youth Board members:
  • Meet bi-monthly (6 times per year) through virtual board meetings
  • Share feedback directly with MH Boxes’ adult governing board
  • Co-design and lead youth-driven projects or initiatives between meetings (such as awareness campaigns, peer surveys, or community activities)
  • Receive leadership development, training, mentorship, and real decision-making power
Youth Board members receive a $595 stipend for full participation over the year.

This opportunity is open to girls who identify as Black and are currently in high school. You do not need prior leadership experience to apply. We encourage applications from students with or without previous leadership roles, and from those with or without personal mental health experiences. What matters most is your willingness to show up honestly, listen, and use your voice.

📅 Application Deadline: November 30, 2026

If you care about mental health, equity, and creating change for yourself and other girls, we encourage you to apply. Your lived experience, ideas, and perspective matter here.
