Team & Advisors
Oliver Chen | Founder
I am a high school student at Harker School. I’m passionate advocate for youth mental health. As the founder and co-president of ME&YOU, a nonprofit dedicated to destigmatizing teen mental health, I’ve helped build a live, helpful support forum that’s reached over 300 teens across the U.S. Through ME&YOU, I’ve organized expert-led webinars, partnered with licensed therapists to offer affordable resources, and created safe spaces for meaningful conversations. My commitment to service also includes tutoring neurodivergent students, building STEM kits for underserved schools, and volunteering at my local museum. I believe in using technology, empathy, and community to empower young people to thrive emotionally, academically, and socially.
