> Patrick Gilligan is the founder and CEO of SOMETHINGS, a New York based near-peer mentorship platform that connects youth ages 13 to 26 with trained mentors in their twenties through real-time virtual support. The service is free to teens and paid for by states, Medicaid managed care plans and school systems.
