Thank you for your interest in Healthy and Free TN's 2025-2026 Youth Leadership Council! This Youth Leadership Cohort is specifically focused on young people 18-25 who have been impacted by the family policing (sometimes called child welfare) system or family separation. This includes young adults who were in foster care, who were adopted, and people in families who were under CPS investigation as well as folks who experience other forms of state separation like immigration investigation or detention, incarceration, and more.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis - meaning we will try to read your application shortly after you apply, but the final deadline to apply is Thursday, August 21st. After we review your application, we will reach out to schedule a short interview by phone or zoom. If you have any questions about the application, please contact Nina at nina@healthyandfreetn.org.
