Co-founder 2

Co-founder 2

Co-executive director

Builds the site and the app, runs operations, and speaks on building technology for mental health and starting a nonprofit in high school.

Mental Note is peer-led. We're two high school students, not clinicians. We don't provide counseling, therapy, or crisis services — we write about mental health from experience, cite our sources, and point people toward professionals who can actually help.

Where the money goes

A nonprofit, plainly.

How we're structured
Fiscally sponsored by The Hack Foundation, a 501(c)(3). We operate under their nonprofit status.
How we're funded
School talks, workshops, and donations. No ads, ever.
What we do with data
We never sell it, share it, or use it to train anything. Check-ins never leave your phone.
The book
One founder's book is her own work, published separately. It isn't a program of Mental Note.
