Job Overview

Job Description

Sports Mental Health & Behavioral Wellness Internship in Houston, Texas Connecting People to Purpose
Location: Remote (open to applicants in Houston, TX and nationwide)

HOUSTON REMEMBERS ITS QUARTERBACK
Before Canton called, Warren Moon belonged to this city. Fans roared for his throws, yet nobody knew he quietly attended counseling he told almost no one about. This internship examines that hidden half openly.

THE PRACTICAL PICTURE
Voice Up Publishing Incorporated posts this internship. It lasts eight weeks, stays remote and flexible at five to fifteen hours a week, inside a national cohort online. No local office or partnership is claimed. New cohorts begin on the first of each month, and current students may also join paid special projects at $20 to $30 per hour.

A CAREER THAT REFUSED EVERY SHORTCUT
Undrafted as a quarterback, Moon rebuilt his future with the Edmonton Eskimos and stacked five consecutive Grey Cups. The Houston Oilers then made him the NFL's highest-paid player; he earned nine Pro Bowls and played until forty four. His 2006 Hall of Fame induction made him the first undrafted and first Black quarterback inducted. On ALL THE SMOKE, Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson draw out racism, family pressure, and secretly attending therapy. "Secretly Attending Therapy" anchors the study: asking for help is a strength.

WHAT INTERNS ACTUALLY DO
Six kinds of work rotate weekly: Active Listening, Mental Health Research, Content Creation, Community Education, Purpose Connection linking Moon's choices to your direction, and Legacy in Real Time.

BRING CURIOSITY, LEAVE WITH PUBLISHED WORK
Athletes, coaches, psychology and public health students, and media makers are welcome; no playing history is required. You gain behavioral health grounding and a finished bylined piece.

If you are hurting, or someone close to you is, call or text 988 anytime for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

VALUES THAT STEADY THE WORK
Our work rests on the 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.

FIRST DOOR IN
Step One: begin as an academic intern for credit through your school, or volunteer, or enroll in the School for Humans Flourishing and develop your own idea there.

WHAT PROVEN CONSISTENCY OPENS
Step Two rewards those who demonstrate success, reliable, consistent, and living the Five Principles: Leadership Fellows at $25 to $35 per hour first, then consultants at $50 to $100 per hour.
