Meet Jorge

Jorge Alvarez is a mental health advocate, digital creator, and social impact strategist dedicated to reshaping how we talk about mental health, particularly for BIPOC and Gen Z communities. His work sits at the intersection of storytelling, advocacy, and systemic change, challenging outdated narratives and mobilizing action.

Jorge’s impact spans digital media, policy, and consulting, helping brands and institutions create culturally competent, action-driven mental health initiatives. He has worked with organizations like MTV, TikTok, Pinterest, and the Biden-Harris Administration, leading campaigns that elevate youth voices in mental health advocacy. In 2022, he was selected by MTV to participate in the White House Mental Health Youth Action Forum, where he co-created and pitched a campaign that Pinterest later funded. That same year, he was awarded the $50,000 TikTok Latinx Creatives Grant, further cementing his role as a leader in the space.

His expertise has been recognized by TIME, Fast Company, The New York Times, and Business Insider, and in 2024, he was invited to speak at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) and lead conversations at the White House Youth Policy Summit, where he also secured a grant to advance youth mental health advocacy.

Beyond content creation, Jorge is a sought-after speaker and consultant, advising organizations on how to authentically engage young people in mental health, social impact, and advocacy. Through digital organizing, media, and policy, he continues to push for a mental health movement that is inclusive, intersectional, and led by the voices most impacted.
