Young People of Color
Welcome to Young People of Color! This community is supported by The Steve Fund, the nation's only non-profit focused on working with students, colleges, and nonprofit organizations to promote the emotional well-being and mental health of young people of color. During their late teens and twenties, young people of color may face challenges related to their mental health and emotional well-being that they need to cope with. That's what Young People of Color at 7Cups is all about! It’s a place to come and be heard, to find and give support. Welcome, friends, to the Young People of Color Support Online Community at 7 Cups.
