If you’re still reading, it means you’re the perfect fit! Sooo... Hi! We're DiveThru. Through our in-person studios and online platform, we provide mental health support, designed with today’s generation in mind. Our services include therapy and psychological assessments. We also partner with organizations to make mental health support more accessible for their teams.

We’re looking to add a Community Engagement Intern to our DiveThru Crew!

The Community Engagement Intern will help us spread the word about DiveThru and our mission to make mental health more accessible (and way less intimidating). Whether it’s chatting with folks at our booths, sharing our iconic mental health stickers, or repping our brand at local hotspots, you’ll play a key role in growing our community and reducing stigma around mental health.

Here’s What You’ll Get By Joining Our Team:

• A meaningful 4-month internship focused on reducing stigma around mental health

• Hands-on marketing experience in a mission-driven organization

• Ability to attend professional development and mental health related workshops

• In house training on mental health and ethics to ensure you’re engaging with community members appropriately and routing to appropriate resources

• The chance to get out in the community, meet new people, and have fun while making a real impact

• Ability to participate in our Community Impact Program — a program that pays you to volunteer with your favorite charity once a quarter

Ready to join us? Okay, let’s talk about the official stuff:

Your General Responsibilities:

• Attend local events, markets, and community spaces to connect with the public and raise awareness about DiveThru

• Represent the DiveThru brand and values with warmth, confidence, and professionalism—while upholding ethical standards around mental health communication

• Distribute DiveThru materials (brochures, posters, and our iconic mental health stickers) at designated locations across the city

• Engage meaningfully with community members to spark conversations around mental health and share information about our studios and services

• Create fun, authentic content while you're out and about (photos, videos, stories) that can be used on DiveThru’s social media channels

• Monitor local events and community happenings—bring ideas to the team about where DiveThru should show up next

• Track and report on your activities to help us understand reach, engagement, and what’s working

• Support studio openings, special events, and local campaigns as needed

As DiveThru continues to grow and evolve, so will this role! We’re looking for someone who embraces change with curiosity and flexibility — someone who sees evolving responsibilities as a chance to grow, develop, and make an even greater impact.

Your Skills:

Our ideal candidate brings the following skills to the table:

• You’re outgoing, approachable, and energized by meeting new people—you know how to engage in meaningful conversations and leave a lasting impression

• You’re passionate about mental health and breaking stigma—you genuinely care about making a difference in your community

• You take initiative and stay one step ahead—you don’t wait to be told what to do, you find ways to contribute

• You’re flexible and quick-thinking—able to adapt when plans shift and still show up with confidence

• You’re a self-starter who thrives working solo, but you’re also a team player when collaboration calls

• You’re organized, dependable, and manage your time like a pro—even when juggling multiple moving parts

• You’re confident repping a brand in public spaces and don’t shy away from being the face of something you believe in

Considered a Plus:

• Experience in marketing, promotions, or street team-style activations

• Familiarity with the local Edmonton community and events scene

• Content creation skills (photo/video for social media)

Requirements:

• Because this role takes you all over the city, you’ll need access to reliable transportation (bonus points if you’ve got a car!). You should also feel comfortable transporting promotional materials like posters, stickers, and other goodies.

Compensation

The hourly rate for this role will be between $17 - $20 per hour (dependent on grant funding).

Hours of work

This is a part-time role. We are looking for someone that is able to work 5–15 hours per week, including daytime, evenings and weekends depending on events and activations.

Job Type

This is a temporary 4-month long internship.

Location

This isn’t a sit-at-a-desk-all-day kind of internship! You’ll be out and about across Edmonton and the Greater Edmonton Area—whether that’s hitting up local events, participating in community spaces, or spending time at our DiveThru Studios (Central, Whyte Ave, Windermere, and St. Albert).

The NAMI HelpLine is contacted over 75,000 times a year by people across the U.S. who are affected by mental health conditions and are in need of help. HelpLine Information and Resource Referral Specialists provide a vital service to the NAMI community by responding with empathy to inquiries by phone call, web chat, and text, and by providing valuable information about mental health conditions and treatment options, NAMI education and support programs, and other mental health resources.

The HelpLine Specialist Experience

NAMI HelpLine Specialists help individuals and families improve their lives and advance recovery by listening to their concerns and connecting them with essential resources and services. They extend empathy, understanding, respect, and emotional support to everyone contacting the NAMI HelpLine. In return, as Specialists they will develop a deep understanding of the mental health landscape, mental health conditions, treatment options, and recovery strategies. They will also experience the appreciation and gratitude expressed by the individuals, families, and caregivers they serve.

The NAMI HelpLine recognizes the value of lived experience as it expands one's capacity for empathy, motivates a sincere desire to help others, and at times provides valuable perspective. However, HelpLine service often involves triggering conversations and topics. A Specialist's mental health must be solid with well-established treatment and/or self-help strategies and necessary support. If at any time in the interview, onboarding or during service a Specialist or staff member becomes aware that providing HelpLine services could or is having a negative impact on a Specialist or that help seekers are not being well served the Specialist will be asked to step-away from service.

Serving Remotely

All HelpLine Specialists work remotely from their homes, apartments, or dorms and connect with help seekers via phone call, web chat, and text, using NAMI's cloud-based communications platform. Specialists are required to have access to a computer with the most recent operating system (MacOS, Windows, or Linux) as well as high-speed internet.

Onboarding

Working with help seekers on the NAMI HelpLine is extremely rewarding, and yet at times, challenging. This requires a commitment to complete about 20 hours of training within a three-week onboarding period, plus participating in a one-hour technology and roleplay training, designed to prepare you to confidently and positively address the diverse needs presented by help seekers. Throughout your onboarding experience, you will complete rewarding online instructional content, interactive exercises, knowledge checks, and a final test prior to joining as a member of the NAMI HelpLine Specialist Team. We also have a Teen & Young Adult HelpLine service, which offers this population an opportunity to connect with other young people to receive support on issues that affect them and others in their age group. All HelpLine Specialists receive specialized training, and those who are between 20-30 years old are encouraged to participate.

Minimum Time Commitment Requirements

Please note the following time commitment requirements:

• A minimum of two, 4-hour shifts per week for a minimum duration of four (4) months.

• All HelpLine Specialist shifts are during regular HelpLine hours: 10am - 10pm, Eastern Standard Time.

Shift #1: 10am - 2pm

Shift #2: 2 - 6pm

Shift #3: 6 - 10pm

Ongoing Support

The NAMI HelpLine team strives to create a supportive virtual community for our Specialists! Ongoing support is provided throughout each shift via cloud-based technology and a direct messaging social media platform, Slack. Additionally, our staff participate in two available shift change Zoom meetings, Monday through Friday, to share experiences and information and to answer questions. Specialists are required to attend at least one shift change Zoom meeting per week with their camera on. Furthermore, our staff routinely observe and provide coaching support throughout each HelpLine Specialist's time on the HelpLine.

Professional Qualifications:

• Excellent communication skills (oral and written), particularly in active listening and an ability to convey a respectful, empathetic tone, over phone, web chat, and text communication.

• Analytical ability with problem-solving skills and resourcefulness for assessing a help seeker's needs and finding correct resources in a timely manner.

• Basic knowledge of mental health conditions, treatments, recovery, and mental health care systems with an interest in learning more.

• Ability to conduct basic internet research quickly while simultaneously managing a phone conversation or SMS/Chat session.

• Verbal bilingual English/Spanish ability strongly welcomed.

Personal Qualities:

• A student or professional of mental health, and/or someone with lived, personal experience - either as a person living well in recovery for at least one year, or as someone caring for a loved one living with a mental health condition.

• Demonstrated reliability, professionalism, and punctuality.

• Respect and compassion for people affected by mental health conditions with desire to help.

• Ability to manage emotionally stressful situations with positive spirit and open-mindedness.

• Passion to learn about mental health conditions, resources, and behavioral health system.

• Willingness to take initiative to seek help when needed, and ability to accept and implement constructive feedback.

• Maturity and patience to communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences, while demonstrating empathy, to facilitate respectful dialogue with help seekers experiencing emotional distress or active psychosis.

The NAMI HelpLine is a free, nationwide peer-support service providing mental health information, resource referrals, empathy, and hope. HelpLine Specialists respond to each help-seeker's needs, from answering basic questions to helping navigate serious, complex issues.

To prepare you to become a HelpLine Specialist, we offer free online training, onboarding, and coaching. This time and effort NAMI puts into preparing HelpLine Specialists is an investment in you and those who trust NAMI during difficult times with deeply personal issues.

It costs the NAMI HelpLine nearly $500.00 to recruit, train, and coach each HelpLine Specialist. It's a serious investment, and we're looking for passionate people with a desire to help others and the ability to commit to:

1. Starting the training within 2 weeks;

2. Completing the training within 3 weeks;

3. Serving during the days/shifts indicated on your application; and

4. Fulfilling a four-month service commitment.

Students must promptly communicate any changes in their field placement status, schedule, or school requirements to their supervisor. This includes updates to required field hours, placement schedules, school-specific requirements, or supervisory documentation needs

Pre-Placement Process

Before confirming placement, students will meet with their potential supervisor to discuss placement goals, and work arrangements (in-person, hybrid, or remote), and review the Learner Support Team's role. During this meeting, students can address questions about their responsibilities, supervision structure, and Per Scholas overall. 

Hybrid positions are available for students within 25 miles of a Per Scholas campus, while remote work arrangements can be accommodated for those beyond this radius. This geographic policy helps ensure effective participation in both on-site and virtual activities.

We value transparency in this process and encourage open dialogue about placement fit to ensure alignment with educational goals. We value understanding your needs and goals - even if Per Scholas isn't the right fit, we appreciate your interest in learning about the Learner Support Team.

Group supervision opportunities with other interns will be available based on scheduling.

PNO interns/externs work to address the root causes of wrongful convictions and unjust sentences by assisting attorneys and investigators with the investigation and litigation of individual cases and contributing to policy work that seeks to dismantle systemic racism and inequity.

Depending on case needs at any given time and the individual’s level of legal training, interns/externs can expect to perform the following tasks:

• Conduct legal research and draft pleadings and motions

• Assist with locating and interviewing witnesses

• Visit and interview clients

• Develop transition plans for recently released or paroled clients

• Participate in case strategy sessions

• Request and review court, prosecution, and investigative files

• Read and digest trial transcripts

• Research public policy issues and prepare policy reports

• Attend court hearings, appellate arguments, and parole board hearings

• Welcome home an exonerated or released IPNO client

We expect IPNO interns/externs to be committed, diligent, responsible, and willing to work hard and learn. In return, IPNO staff strives to provide interns/externs with a substantive understanding of post-conviction, habeas, and innocence work, constructive feedback, and the opportunity to engage in meaningful and rewarding work. Our small size ensures that our interns/externs receive regular supervision and support from attorneys and investigators. However, it also means that our attorneys are responsible for some of the clerical work (copying, tabbing, production of exhibits, etc.) that would be handled by paralegals at a larger firm, and interns/externs will be asked to share in that responsibility.

IPNO offers three programs to interested students:

Summer Legal / Undergraduate Internship: a 10-week, 40-hour per week, summer program for undergraduate, graduate, and law students. Students begin with a multi-day orientation and training program and are then assigned supervisors based on abilities and interests. The summer program includes bi-weekly brown bag lunches, film screenings, activities with other organizations, and field trips. Past events have included trips to the Whitney Plantation, EJI Legacy Museum, and National Memorial for Peace and Justice, baseball games, and day trips to the beach.

Spring / Fall Externship: a semester-long program for undergraduate, graduate, and law students able to work 10-20 hours per week. The part-time externship is flexible and can be done for pro bono service or class credits.

Internships/externships are unpaid, though we are happy to work with you to provide the documentation necessary to secure academic credit or school-based financial support for your work. Preference will be given to applicants who can work on-site at our office in New Orleans. IPNO may switch to a hybrid-model or remote work during COVID surges to ensure the safety of staff, interns, and clients.

Qualifications and Materials:

IPNO accepts applications from all levels of undergraduate, graduate, and law students and international applicants. Successful applicants will have a demonstrated interest in some aspect of our work (post-conviction law, indigent defense, investigation, criminal justice reform, and/or criminal law), but no specific coursework or experience is required.

To apply, submit the following documents in a SINGLE PDF file:

• A cover letter explaining your interest in the position

• A current résumé, including GPA

• Writing sample, no more than 10 pages, that demonstrates analytic, writing, and editing ability

ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW

East Bay Agency for Children’s (EBAC) mission is to improve the well-being of children, youth, and families by reducing the impact of trauma and social inequities. EBAC strives to reduce barriers that contribute to disparities in wellness for socio-economically disadvantaged and racially marginalized families and to create communities where all children and families have support systems to reach their full potential.

Today, EBAC’s programs serve over 10,000 children, youth and families throughout Alameda County each year with the goal of giving each child and family the specific resources, skills, and support they need to help them reach their full potential.
