The Zinc Academy

Are you driven by the Mission of Mental Health, but frustrated by your current level of impact? Do you know you can do more, but don’t know where to start? Do you want to create a game-plan alongside your current role? Zinc is on a mission to mobilise talent to tackle the world’s most important problems, and to generate maximum impact. Now, we are going further. We are looking for 50 impact-driven people to take part in our first Zinc Academy. The Zinc Academy will accelerate the impact of those individuals who want to contribute other system-level solutions to Zinc’s missions, beyond start-ups. It’s a place for changemakers and people who want to hack the world, for good. Because Zinc believes if exposed to the right people, the right domain content, the right fuel and the right individual game plan - big change can happen in the missions that matter. And we are starting with Mental Health. During our 9 month part-time programme, you’ll be exposed to the best in mental health learning and expertise, meet a powerful network of speakers and Fellows, be connected to unique placements and a portfolio of mental health start-ups, and meet a cohort of students who want to see change as much as you do. What does the Academy look like? The programme takes the mission you care about and turns it into action. It’s where social mission meets designing your life. We’ll expose you to the best in Mental Health Learning and the most innovative practitioners across business, charities and public services. Then, we set you up to take action.
