The MovementBehind TheMission

Mission 34 exists to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental illness through awareness, education, and ambassadors. Founded in 2018 in honor of Sean P. Bonner, Jr., Mission 34 started on a single college campus with one belief: that the people closest to the problem are the ones best positioned to solve it.

Today, Mission 34 is a growing community of chapters, ambassadors, and supporters across the country—all united by the idea that real change happens when people show up for each other.

We are a movement defining A New Type of Tough—that speaking up is a sign of strength, not weakness, one campus, one community, one conversation at a time.

Core Values

ECHO

Where echoes of courage turn struggle into strength.

Education

Knowledge saves lives. Mission 34 equips communities with the understanding and tools to recognize struggles, start conversations, and connect people with support.

Courage

A New Type of Tough. We believe real strength is the willingness to ask for help when you need it.

Humanity

Everyone has someone in their corner. Mission 34 creates communities where people show up for each other, because connection is the foundation of prevention.

Outreach

Stronger together. Through chapters, events, and ambassadors, Mission 34 expands its reach to new campuses and cities—building a movement that grows one conversation at a time.
