allcove San Mateo
youth advisors
allcove is designed with, by and for young people.
The goal with our Youth Advisory Groups is to ensure that youth voice and experience are included in the development and services of all of our allcove centers. Our youth advisors are a group of young leaders who help us better understand young peoples’ needs, providing guidance, solutions and insight on how to support youth in the community.
Each group is comprised of young people between the ages of 16 and 25 who represent diversity across race, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, lived experience, ability and socioeconomic status. They are passionate about affecting change and connecting with other youth to increase access to care.
Our allcove San Mateo youth advisors are part of the youth movement leading allcove development at our allcove San Mateo center.

from our youth advisors
“Being able to work towards a common goal with people who are just as inspired and determined to break the stigma of mental health is so uplifting. I truly believe what we are working on is going to be life-changing for many, and I hope that everything we have built and everything we stand for continues to grow and be just as great in the future.”
— Vincent
