Invest in youth mental health. Lead with impact.

The G.O.A.T. Youth Mental Health Expo 2026 brings together youth ages 16–25, families, providers, educators, and community leaders for a day of connection, resources, and real support.

This fifth annual event is designed to meet youth where they are — through experiences, conversations, and pathways to care that feel relevant, accessible, and trustworthy.

By sponsoring the Expo, your organization demonstrates a visible commitment to the well-being of young people in Prince George’s County while engaging directly with the community you serve.

This is more than brand exposure.
It is an opportunity to show leadership, build trust, and create lasting impact.

    Why Sponsor the G.O.A.T. Expo?

    Sponsors play a vital role in making this experience possible and in strengthening the network of support surrounding our youth.

    As a sponsor, your organization will:

    • Engage directly with youth, families, and community stakeholders
    • Increase brand visibility before, during, and after the event
    • Align with initiatives focused on mental health, wellness, and resilience
    • Demonstrate corporate and community responsibility
    • Build meaningful relationships with future leaders and decision-makers

    Estimated attendance: 600+
    Audience includes transition-aged youth, caregivers, providers, educators, and community partners.

    Create a Branded Experience

    This year, we are inviting sponsors to go beyond traditional participation by creating interactive experiences that engage youth in meaningful ways.

    Examples include hands-on activities, skill-building sessions, creative activations, wellness experiences, or community-focused projects that encourage connection and confidence.

    These experiences become memorable highlights of the Expo and position your organization as an active partner in youth empowerment.
