Kappa Kappa Gamma + Active Minds

kappa kappa and active minds

Each of us deserves to feel confident that we can turn to our community for support when we are struggling. It’s with strength of character that we ask for support when we need it, and to show up for our peers when they are struggling.

Active Minds is the nation’s leading nonprofit working to empower young adults to change the culture around mental health. Through education, research, and advocacy, Active Minds is creating a cultural shift in the way mental health is valued in our communities.

We are proud to be a philanthropic partner of Kappa Kappa Gamma, since 2021. Together we are changing the culture around mental health through our mutual commitment to the mental health of young adults and communities.

Check to see if your campus has an Active Minds chapter that you may collaborate with!
