GraySpace Network

Join a growing community of passionate young leaders who are reimagining mental health support in schools and communities. The Gray Space Network connects you with changemakers across the country, giving you the tools, inspiration, and support to lead bold conversations and create lasting impact.

What are Gray Space Chapters?

Gray Space chapters are youth-led groups based in schools that lead important conversations, inspire cultural shifts, and advocate for mental health across their communities. These vibrant student teams are committed to meeting the needs of those around them and building environments where mental wellness is prioritized. They do this through policy advocacy, promoting mental health services, hosting awareness events, creating community spaces, and encouraging social connection. Every Gray Space chapter receives free access to valuable resources, expert insights, creative ideas, and a supportive network of peers. Gray Space strongly believes in the potential of youth and young adults to understand what their communities need and to lead real solutions. We are here to guide and uplift young changemakers as they take action, create meaningful impact, and support each other in growing through school and life.
