May is Mental Health Awareness Month, but awareness has never been where the work ends. We're proud to share that Jorge Alvarez, our Senior Manager of Corporate Partnerships & Engagement, has been named the 2026 Halo Emerging Leader of the Year by Engage for Good. At Active Minds, we deeply value the next generation leading the mental health movement. Jorge has been an example of this since he found community through an Active Minds chapter in 2018 and has continued to model leadership since he joined our staff in 2023. Today, Jorge leads the corporate partnerships work that helps fuel Active Minds' movement of 500+ chapters and 10,000+ student leaders nationwide — the youth and young adults who are taking action each and every day. Congratulations, Jorge! This recognition reflects the movement you help lead alongside your Active Minds colleagues and the youth and young adults who make our mission possible. Congrats as well to Carol Cone of ON PURPOSE (Lifetime Achievement) and Karen Little of PayPal (Impact Leader of the Year) — two leaders who've shaped corporate social impact for decades. #HaloAwards #EngageForGood #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth
