Deadline: May 4, 2026. Applications received by March 30th will receive priority review.

The world can feel like it’s always in crisis. And the concerning news of international conflict in Iran can feel especially heavy. War impacts everyone, but young people are often the ones most directly affected. More than 50% of active duty enlisted personnel are 25 or younger. And across the world, young people are also too often among the innocent civilians affected by the violence. Their lives, futures, and families disrupted in an instant. That’s a lot to carry, especially when it feels out of your control. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, give yourself grace. What you can do: • Take breaks from the news when it gets heavy • Talk about what you’re feeling (it’s okay to ask for support) • Learn ways to cope, care for your mental health, and check in on others • Turn concern into positive action in your own community When the world feels overwhelming, doing something. Service is one of the most powerful ways to support both your community and your own mental health.
