Our Mission

We're addressing an important issue that affects many people- especially high-achieving scholars like our members. NSCS has partnered with Active Minds to help change the conversation about mental health so no one has to struggle alone. Active Minds is the premier mental health organization impacting college students and mental health. Our mission with this partnership is to spread awareness, break the stigma, and raise money for solutions Active Minds has identified.

At the conclusion of the 2018-2019 school year, 80% of the funds raised will be donated to Active Minds and the remaining 20% will come back to NSCS to fund the Active Minds Mental Health Advocate Award.
