Nolan Golden

Student Leader

Nolan Golden is a queer, charismatic college student based in sunny California. They have a well-rounded background in leadership and community activism, and have been a mental health and LGBTQ advocate for over six years. Their story with mental health includes having lived with a parent with borderline personality disorder, and struggling with their own depression and gender dysphoria. They know at times things may seem never-ending—like being trapped in a reoccurring dream—but through their own experiences, and seeing the experiences of others, they know things will get better. As an Art With Impact leader, Nolan wants to help people and communities by sharing the art that has helped them during their own challenges.
