Black Girls Smile opens a paid AI and mental health co-lab
Applications close Nov 14 for 25 Black girls and gender-expansive young people ages 16 to 19, with mentorship from Black women in the field.
Black Girls Smile is recruiting for the Mental Health x AI Co-Lab, which the group says is not a lecture about whether AI is good or bad.
The paid program will bring together 25 Black girls and gender-expansive young people ages 16 to 19 from across the country, with flexible participation and mentorship from Black women working in the field. Participants will help create three guides for young people, parents and the people building these tools.
No tech skills are needed. Applications close Nov 14.

Open the post“What does the future of mental health look like when Black girls are part of shaping it? 👀 We're building something different. The Mental Health x AI Co-Lab isn't a lecture about why AI is good or bad. It's an opportunity for 25 Black girls and gender-expansive young people, ages 16–19, to explore how AI is shaping the way we think, learn, create—and have a say in what comes next. Here's what makes it special: ✨ 25 participants from across the country ✨ A paid opportunity with flexible participation ✨ Mentorship from Black women already working in the field ✨ Three guides created with young people, for young people, parents, and the people building these tools And no, you don't need to be tech-savvy. You just need to have noticed something, asked a question, or wondered what all of this means for your future. We're looking for curious minds, fresh perspectives, and young people ready to help shape the conversation. Applications close November 14. Know a young person who should be part of this?
