Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Minneapolis

Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Minneapolis, Minnesota Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Minneapolis, MN and nationwide)

THE TWIN CITIES KNOW HOW TO SHOW UP
Minneapolis and St. Paul cheer for the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Wild, and Lynx, and long winters teach neighbor checking. No local office or partnership is claimed.

THE FELLOWSHIP
One interview is the center: Warren Moon joins Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson on ALL THE SMOKE, open about racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy.

WARREN MOON
The beats: undrafted as a quarterback; Edmonton Eskimos, five consecutive Grey Cups; Houston Oilers, the NFL's highest-paid player; nine Pro Bowls; played until forty four; 2006 Hall of Fame, first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted.

THE CHAPTERS
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.

SIX CONNECTIONS
Moon kept his struggles inside, not wanting worry. The only boy at seven and a rare Black quarterback, he carried a load tied to anxiety, depression, and burnout; racism brought stress linked to hypertension, sleep disruption, and depression; asking for help is a strength.

THE WORK
Active Listening, Mental Health Research, Content Creation for new audiences, Community Education, Purpose Connection, and Legacy in Real Time.

WHO SHOULD APPLY
Athletes, coaches, and psychology, public health, social work, and communications students should apply; no playing background is required. You will gain a finished piece.

If you or someone you know is struggling, you are not alone. Call or text 988 at any hour for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

THE FIVE PRINCIPLES
The Five Principles: 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
1. Start as an academic intern for credit through your school, or start as a volunteer. 2. Or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing.

STEP TWO
Interns who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, and living the Five Principles, become eligible for Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour first, then consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.

DETAILS
The internship runs eight weeks, remote and flexible at five to fifteen hours a week, in a national cohort online. Special projects pay $20 to $30 per hour. New cohorts begin on the first of each month. Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship.
