HuntersWorld, a Jersey City-based nonprofit teen mentoring program created and driven by teenagers, currently focuses on launching the "Mental Health Advocacy Scholarship Program," recognizing an outstanding peer mentor committed to supporting teen mental health and wellness. This scholarship will be awarded to a teen pursuing higher education in a mental health-related field, and proceeds from this year's event will entirely fund the scholarship program.
