This Way Foundation and Cotton On Foundation request nominations from young people themselves of tax-exempt organizations, non-profits, NGOs and similar types of organizations based in the above listed nine countries that are focused on mental wellness and:
are informed and/or led by young people,
are rooted in practices of community, inclusion, and equity at all levels, and
