Job Description
Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Nashville, Tennessee Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Nashville, TN and nationwide)
WHERE HARD VERSES BECOME HONEST CONVERSATIONS
Nashville trusts true songs, and its arenas ask the same of athletes, from the Titans and Predators to Nashville SC. One quarterback hid a true line for years: I need help. Participation is remote with a national cohort online, and no local office or partnership is claimed.
STUDYING A VOICE THAT FINALLY SPOKE FREELY
On ALL THE SMOKE, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson interview Warren Moon about racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. Undrafted at quarterback, Moon joined the Edmonton Eskimos and won five consecutive Grey Cups, then signed with the Houston Oilers and became the NFL's highest-paid player. Nine Pro Bowls, play until forty four, and a 2006 Hall of Fame place as the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted complete the arc. His "Secretly Attending Therapy" chapter is clear: asking for help is a strength.
WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY
Expect a reviewed creative piece and stronger listening habits.
WHO SHOULD RAISE A HAND?
Students in any field can thrive, especially those drawn to storytelling or wellness. Bring reliability and care.
If crisis feels close, call or text 988 for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free, confidential, and open around the clock.
YOUR WEEKLY ASSIGNMENTS
Tasks rotate among Active Listening, Mental Health Research, Content Creation, Community Education, Purpose Connection, and Legacy in Real Time.
TERMS IN PLAIN FORM
Duration is eight weeks, remote and flexible, five to fifteen hours a week, with a national cohort online. New cohorts begin on the first of each month. Current students may join paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour. Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship.
STEP ONE: CHOOSE A DOOR
Enter as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer; or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.
STEP TWO: GROW INTO COMPENSATED WORK
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.
PRINCIPLES WE PRACTICE TOGETHER
Our Five Principles at 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.
