As we enter this next school year, we wanted to take a moment to highlight some of the amazing opportunities our wonderful '25-'26 AmeriCorps cohort members took on as they closed out their service terms with Alpine Achievers Initiative. 📣

This June, we had the honor of sending three of our members out to the first-ever Youth Mental Health Corps Member Convening in Los Angeles at Pinterest LA. There, members focused on the importance of mental health support, gathering in community, and empowering youth voices. 🧠❤️

Thank you for organizing such an inspiring event, we're so grateful for all of the impactful work you do!
