We are looking for fifteen high school students or graduating high school seniors who are passionate about de-stigmatizing and supporting youth mental health. This fully remote 7-week summer internship will provide a structured introduction to working at a digital mental health company.
Alongside is a digital health company that is developing an app to support teen mental health. The Alongside app uses an AI-supported chatbot to help teens with the daily challenges they face and build new social-emotional skills. When they need it, students also have an easy and private way to ask for additional help from their school counselors. Over 10,000 teens have already used Alongside. We are a remote team with employees based across the US.
The Internship will run from June 17th - August 09th, 2024 with a week off from July 1st - July 5th. Interns are expected to work 4 hours a day (20 hours per week) from 12-4pm ET/ 9am-1pm PT, Monday-Friday. The student interns will complete three different rotations:
All work will be completed remotely and team meetings are held via zoom. Interns will be directly supervised by Dr. Blanca Jaure (Clinical R&D Manager) and Kyle Nacci (Sr. Product Manager).
We know talking about mental health can be challenging! Meetings and all interactions will be conducted in a manner that supports creating a safe space for teens from all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.
