The Mental Health Graduate Student Fellowship is an opportunity for current students pursuing a mental health graduate degree (having completed at least one year prior to Summer 2023) to learn on-the-job skills by supporting campers and/or staff at camp alongside a mental health professional this summer.

Fellows will learn and grow while participating in pre-camp and in-summer fellowship meetings with peers, facilitated by experts in the field.

Participating camps will receive funding to supplement the fellow’s summer salary. To be eligible, camp must have recruited a graduate student who has completed at least one year of study by summer 2023 or recently finished graduate school in a mental health field (such as social work, psychology, psychiatry, counseling).

Apply by February 24th (and acceptances on a case-by-case basis after).
