Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in San Francisco

Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in San Francisco, California Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in San Francisco, CA and nationwide)

BAY AREA BLUEPRINT: BRILLIANCE NEEDS WELLNESS TO LAST
San Francisco pairs invention with fandom, 49ers, Giants, and Warriors across the water, and both keep learning that output collapses when people are unwell. This internship is remote with a national cohort online, and no local office or partnership is claimed.

CHAPTERS FIRST
Refusing to Change Positions; Five Straight Grey Cups; NFL's Highest-Paid Player; Secretly Attending Therapy; Doug Williams & the Black QB Legacy; Playing Until 44.

WHY THOSE CHAPTERS MATTER
On ALL THE SMOKE, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson draw out Warren Moon on racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. Undrafted as a quarterback, Moon joined the Edmonton Eskimos, won five consecutive Grey Cups, then signed with the Houston Oilers and became the NFL's highest-paid player. Nine Pro Bowls followed, he played until forty four, and in 2006 became the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted into the Hall of Fame. His "Secretly Attending Therapy" chapter anchors one conviction: asking for help is a strength.

FACTS AT A GLANCE
Length: eight weeks. Schedule: remote and flexible, five to fifteen hours a week. Cohort: national cohort online. Starts: monthly. New cohorts begin on the first of each month. Extras: paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour for current students. Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship.

WHAT INTERNS DO
Work rotates through Active Listening, Mental Health Research, Content Creation, Community Education, Purpose Connection, and Legacy in Real Time.

WHO FITS AND GAINS
Students curious about athletes, media, or public health belong here. You leave with a finished, reviewed piece.

VALUES THAT GUIDE THE ROOM
Our Five Principles of Voice Up: Collaboration (all are welcome), Humility (we all have much to learn), Precision (all the details matter), Patience (we all need forgiveness; we all make mistakes and learn from each), Empathy (we must understand your why). This is how Voice Up has achieved what it has to date.

STEP ONE: PICK YOUR ENTRY
Begin as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer; or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.

STEP TWO: EARN TOWARD PAID ROLES
Those who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, and living the Five Principles, may advance first to Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour, then to consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and confidential.
