Welcome!
Welcome members of Kappa Kappa Gamma to The Jed Foundation (JED) Family. Your membership voiced the need for more support for mental health and well-being and thus have embarked on this new philanthropic journey. We are excited to partner with you on education and advocacy efforts, raising awareness, normalizing talking about mental health and well-being, and providing fundraising and service opportunities for your members and alumnae. Together, we can inspire positive change by protecting the emotional health and preventing suicide for teens and young adults.
Below are resources to help you talk about JED, volunteer with us, and fundraise for our organization.
If you have any questions for us, please feel welcome to contact Dr. Thea Zunick, Manager of Community Engagement. She serves as the main liaison between Kappa Kappa Gamma and JED.
