With regional offices serving communities across the Northeast and over 82% of our team made up of high school and college students, we remain rooted in our home region while engaging millions of young people around the world through our educational resources, social platforms, and advocacy efforts.

One Life. One Voice. One Movement for Change.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among young people—but it is 100% preventable with the right support. At the One Life Project, we believe every young person deserves to be seen, heard, and empowered. Together, we can break the stigma, build resilience, and create a world where no one struggles alone.
Our Mission and What We Do
Education
Our educational work is dedicated to empowering youth through custom journals, workbooks, and our online education hub, recognizing that education is crucial for equipping young people with the knowledge and resilience needed to navigate life's challenges and achieve their full potential.
Advocacy
Our advocacy efforts champion the importance of standing up for youth mental health by supporting young people through public policy engagement and community action, in hopes of driving systemic change to create a more inclusive world where every young voice is heard and valued.
Support
The One Life Project provides a non-emergency helpline, support groups, and online training for youth, adults, and schools to ensure young people have access to immediate support, community connection, and essential skills for emotional well-being as they balance the stresses of growing up.
Community
Our community work reflects our commitment to showing up locally - through events, meetings, and fundraising drives that provide essentials like clothing and school supplies. These efforts help foster mental well-being by building more compassionate and supportive communities—one at a time.

College Students:
Prioritizing mental health and building self-esteem are essential for college students navigating the pressures of academics, social life, and the party scene. The desire to fit in, keep up with social expectations, and balance responsibilities can feel overwhelming, leading many to sacrifice their well-being in the process. In a world where fitting in can feel like a constant challenge, maintaining a strong sense of self fosters resilience, confidence, and a more balanced, fulfilling college experience.
