The Youth Mental Health Corps is a collaborative initiative that supports youth mental health in schools and communities nationwide while giving over 500 young adults on-ramps into behavioral health careers.
In 2025, the Arkansas AmeriCorps State Service Commission, Engage Arkansas, received a planning grant to develop a Youth Mental Health Corps program in Arkansas, with potential implementation beginning in September 2026, pending funding.
