Findlay House Global Enters Year Two of Re-Powering Kent County Youth with Beyond Your Mental Program
On January 2, 2024, Findlay House Global (FHG) received notice that it would be awarded a grant by the Kent County (Maryland) Local Management Board (KCLMB) to pilot “Beyond Your Mental (BYM)”—a demand driven and student-designed mentorship program focused on re-powering youth through mental health awareness and leadership.
Launched from FHG’s Y.O.U.R. Kent County youth leadership academy, BYM was the culminating community project created by 35 Kent County High School students. “Beyond Your Mental” is a double entendre emphasizing both awareness of mental health (“Be on” your mental) and the power to move beyond limiting mindsets.
The pilot program will pair 10th - 12th grade mentors with 8th and 9th grade mentees, equipping younger students with the tools they need to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally in high school.
As FHG enters its second year in Kent County, the team remains committed to re-powering youth and building a culture of engaged, civic youth leaders in Kent County.
